Brown rice was one of the first things I ever sprouted but I didn’t know what to do with it! (I have Rhio’s book, also)
wow! very interesting! let us know how it works and how it taste!!
i think that sweet brown rice = glutinous rice, the one used to make sushi.
PS. I have found a photo of sprouted rice, just to know how it looks like http://wildhoneybee.blogspot.com/2007/11/its-al…
Yup! That’s the one! Interesting that it’s glutinous… a while back I felt I was really missing grains in my diet, and I started using sprouted wheat & barley. In talking to my aunt, who can’t tolerate gluten at all, something came up that made me wonder if I need the gluten (blasphemy for most people, I know!). So now I was totally drawn to this sweet brown rice, and I find out that this one has gluten!? Interesting. :)
where did you buy it?
I bought it in the bulk bin section at my health food store.
That gluten seems to be everywhere!!!
I have made for the first time buckwheat sprouts, they taste (to me) to… sunflowers! But I have no idea about this grain, is it a grain? gluten?... oh, well, i will look for it and post it later
It really sprouts real tails?? Wow that is amazing! Thanks for posting ;)))
buckwheat groats are the seeds of the buckwheat plant – not grasses, not related to wheat.
cool about sweet brown rice… i’ll look for it this weekend and try to sprout it.
Yeah, little tails – it’s sprouted & not as soft as cooked rice… I’m going to have to play with it & see what I can come up with
Sweet brown rice does not actually contain gluten. The term “glutinous” is referring to it’s stickiness, caused by starch, rather than protein like gluten. Check out the wiki page if you’re interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutinous_rice
sweet, i can still eat rice!! :D
Okay, so I ate some tonight – it was kinda hard, like rice that is partially cooked, maybe? Not crunchy, but nowhere near soft. It took some jaw muscles to chew, and I enjoyed it :) If I were wanting cooked rice, it wouldn’t go over well, but I ate it with a mixture of marinara & seed cheese, and I was really happy with the new texture, as I seem to eat a lot of soft or crunchy raw foods, and this was neither one and also very filling without being heavy!
