What is Brown Rice Activation?
The rice cooker activates brown rice by keeping the temperature inside the pan at about 104°F for 2 hours. By activating brown rice, GABA, one of the nutrients contained in brown rice, increases its amount 1.5 times as much as that contained in non-activated brown rice. It also makes brown rice softer, thus making it readily edible.
What is GABA?
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a type of amino acid said to lower blood pressure, improve kidney function and relief stress. What is Germinated Brown Rice?
Germinated brown rice is a type of brown rice that is ready to be germinated by a special process. The process gives a softer texture and improved taste. It also contains increased values of GABA. It is a type of rice that must be purchased, and is cooked using the Softer menu. Germinated brown rice is sometimes called sprouted brown rice.
