How to make sprouted brown rice (GABA)

Here's how to do it:

This stuff is the GABA rice and it's super tasty. It's also super expensive if you don't make it yourself. The nutrient density is seriously improved compared to regular brown rice. I literally can eat it alone, it's so good. My husband swore that it had some spices added to it to make it yummy.

I don't have the numbers but the increase in amino acids and ions is a lot.

"The effects of germination and germination conditions on the
concentrations of GABA, Glu, GAD and soluble calcium ions
were evaluated in brown rice. Germination resulted in
significant increases in the GABA concentrations that could
be further increased by additions to the soaking solution that
was used for the germination; the highest GABA
concentrations were obtained by germination with the
chitosan/glutamic acid (CG) solution. The CG-germinated
brown rice also appeared to have higher GAD levels when
compared to the non-germinated and water germinated brown
rice. The concentration of calcium ions was also higher in the
CG-germinated brown rice than in the non-germinated brown
rice. In contrast, the highest Glu concentrations were found in
the non-germinated brown rice; the Glu levels were very low
in the germinated brown rice. Overall, the data clearly show
that the concentrations of GABA, GAD, and soluble calcium
are significantly increased by germination of the brown rice,
with the greatest increase in the CG-germinated brown rice,
while Glu is highest in the non-germinated brown rice.
Previously, we demonstrated that the germination of brown"
