About Germinated red rice

Germinated red rice is red rice that has been soaked and allowed to begin sprouting before cooking or further processing. It is generally cooked and eaten as a grain, and may be sold dried or ready for preparation. Germination is a processing step, not a separate rice species, and products can differ in the rice used and in how they are processed.

The grains have a reddish-brown outer layer and, once cooked, are often chewy with a mild, nutty flavour. Germination, drying and cooking influence texture and taste. “Red rice” covers multiple varieties, so the name does not specify a single grain type or a standardized sprouting method.
