Instant GaBa Rice Cereal
GABA rice is germinated brown rice that contains a greater amount of the naturally-occurring gamma-amino butyric acid. Researchers have found that GABA rice has many health benefits. It is made by soaking the brown rice in water for an extended period of time before cooking it. A basking light bulb can be used to heat the rice during the germination process.
GABA rice or GBR (germinated brown rice) is brown rice that is nutritionally enhanced, naturally, by germination. By germinating the brown rice prior to cooking, the GABA content has been proven to significantly increased. To make GABA rice, you must first obtain good quality brown rice, as white rice cannot germinate because the hull has been removed during production. Rinse the brown rice and then soak it in for a up to 2 hours in warm water before cooking. The GABA amount in the rice increases as the rice continues to germinate. GBR rice cooks quicker and needs less water added than other forms of rice, as it still contains the naturally absorbed water from the germination process.
Researchers find health benefits
As reported at the 2004 Rice Conference held by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, GABA rice is nutritionally enhanced by the germination process. GABA increases significantly, but so do a number of other nutrients such as the amino acid lysine, tocotrienols, magnesium and zinc. For more information, you can review some of the findings that are posted on the web site www.fao.org/rice2004.
Japanese researchers have found that an intake of GABA over time helps to lower blood pressure, improve kidney function, and reduce sleeplessness. Additionally, GABA rice improved the learning ability of mice and there is speculation that it may be helpful in preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Yet another study has found that germinated brown rice extract inhibited leukemia cell proliferation and stimulated cancer cell apoptosis (cell death).
