Rinse the rice thoroughly. Combine rice and water, stir in some salt. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and cover. Cook for 45 min. Take rice off heat, let rest for 10-15 min.

Germinated brown rice has a good nutritional profile, cooks faster than brown rice and has a better overall texture when cooked.
