Sprout your brown rice before cooking to increase nutrient availability and mineral absorption. It's actually not any more difficult than soaking your brown rice.
Rinse rice well and place in a bowl along with about 4 cups of warm pure water. Cover with a cloth or plate and let stand on the counter for 8 hours.
Drain. Rinse. This time do not refill with water. Cover again and leave on the counter.
Drain and rinse the brown rice in this manner 4 to 5 times a day until you see little bulges coming out of the end. It usually only takes 2 days.
To cook:
Rinse rice and place in a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Boil until water is about the same level as the rice. Cover with a lid and shut off the burner. Allow to site for 45 minutes to steam. Fluff with a fork and serve.
To freeze:
Spread cooked rice on a baking sheet to allow to cool completely. Place in ziplock bags and flatten. Make sure all air is squeezed out. Store stacked in the freezer. Reheat by placing in a pot with a little water or stock to resteam and keep the heat low.
