germinated rice
Germinated rice
Germinated rice is rice soaked until sprouting begins, then prepared as a grain, with variety, processing and cooking determining its texture and flavour.
About Germinated rice
Germinated rice is rice that has been soaked and allowed to begin sprouting before cooking or further processing. It is prepared as a grain and may be sold dried or ready to cook. The term describes a process rather than a particular rice variety, so it may refer to different kinds of rice.
The grains retain the appearance of their underlying variety, and their cooked texture and flavour depend on that variety and on germination and cooking. Germinated rice may be tender or chewy, with a mild grain flavour. Products can differ in whether they are brown or polished, and in soaking, sprouting and drying methods.
