How About Rice?

[tonytate42]

Is it possible to incorporate rice into the raw food diet, and, has anyone done this? How would you prepare it?

Have only sprouted wild rice. It is delicious and no longer has the "stick-like" consistency. Believe some people sprout regular rice... let's see what others say.

Im interested in knowing as well. I know that at the raw vegan restaurant I visit sometimes ... they make pasta RAW uncooked by soaking it I assume for several hours...

I make raw sprouted rice milk sometimes. Good stuff. My daughter LOVES it.

What kind of rice do you buy to do this?

I am mostly raw not 100% because I have to have my cooked beans and rice because I tried sprouting them and all I got was sour smelling, moldy slime beans and rice I just have to throw in the garbage in the end.

I am a bad sprouter and i can't do without my beans and rice staples.

I tried sprouting wild rice a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't work out. Some opened up and were nice and soft on the inside. Others remained hard and basically inedible. I let them 'sprout' for 3-4 days.

I use blended cauliflower for rice. Obviously doesn't taste like rice but mixed with like a raw stir fry its pretty good.

I've seen recipes using cauliflower for rice ..stir fry and nori rolls.....and it 'looks' like rice...but, how strong is the cauliflower flavor?

Hmmmm. I would question that being a reputible raw restaurant. Pasta is cooked grain. Totally not raw.

The rice to use is wild rice. It's long and thin and dark. It is very good. Alissa has a rice salad recipe in her book. If yours didn't sprout CaliRaw, then it was more then likely old.

So answering Tony's original question - no other rice BUT wild rice will sprout and be considered raw.
