How to Cook Germinted Brown Rice

 Ok. Here is the thing about cooking GBR (Germinated Brown Rice) and brown rice in general... It is practice.. .you have to get used to and balance the amounts of rice and water.... the flame or heat that you use, the pot you use.... and the amount of time you use. There are guidlines and then you have to go from there

It is recommended that the ratio of rice to water should be 1 part rice to 1 1/2 parts water and 35 minutes cooking time... I have found that I need 1 3/4 part  of water to 1 part grains and Instead of 35 minutes amd what works for me for time  is 40 minutes to get it the way I want it .... I use the same pot with a tight fitting lid and after some practice I have found what works for me... go find what works for you and once you have found it .... you got it!

And How to Make Germinated Brown Rice Grits ( I love it! and you will too! really)

The other thing I am doing is making brown rice grits for breakfast... I take 2/3 a cup of GBR and grind it in a coffee grinder.... now here is my secret to beautiful smooth geriminated brown rice grits... I toast the ground rice in melted butter or buttery spread stuff and a little of the oil of your choice. I kinda wok the ground rice in the heated melted butter untill it is toasted or tightened up as I call it and then I put in the boiling water..

I use a ratio of 6 parts water to 1 part ground up rice... you can use more or less water but I find this works for me.. you can also replace any of the amount water with milk or any nut milk, rice or soy milk in any ratio you wish... I used 2 parts almond milk and 4 parts water the other day and it came out real nice.. my big thing with recipes is you put good things in and you will take good things out, simply as that... you can put in raisens or cinnimon (yummy) while you are cooking the grits or the rice; but I would put in fruits and or bananas or whatever after I'm done cooking the rice... ...

When I'm cooking the brown rice grits I do a great amount of stirring and in about 15-20 minutes I got what I want... you may need less or more time depending on the consistancy you want. I used to have for breakfast whatever I didn't eat for dinner the night before.. I would just put everything including the salad in my leftover rice... now I have the brown rice grits for breakfast and the leftovers of lunch but I don't know if you can go by me as I may not be the mainstream, most people prefer corn grits... Corn grits has a similar taste and mouth feel to GBR The difference is that GBR is a suprer food chock full of amazing health benefits...while most of the nutritional value in corn grits come from the insect parts and mouse droppings so commonly found in corn grits ... I prefer the germinated brown rice grits that I grind up myself... but like I said I am not mainstream
