Sprouted Brown Rice

I've been storing our brown rice in the freezer these days....and for a very good reason. The other day I found some worms in it! I know, so gross...but I figure there are thousands of people around the globe who deal with these critters on a regular basis and it's no big deal. So instead of freaking out and tossing the unused rice, I thoroughly sorted it, uncovered the little worms, and fed them to our goldfish. But being the super hygienic brainwashed American that I am, that still wasn't enough to convince me that those invaders didn't leave anything behind. While I was obsessively soaking and rinsing  the rice it occurred to me that I hadn't  tried sprouting it before. Soooo...three days of rinsing later, I decided to make it for supper. Since it has absorbed so much water already, it only needed one cup water per one cup rice....and voila! super sprouted brown rice supper! (sans the worms, thank you very much...) It still had that yummy brown rice chewy texture...and so easy! Give it a try!
