Substitue for Brown Rice?

[Catladyintown]

Hello I love brown rice and squash cooked. I am trying to go all 80% or more raw. But can some one help me with a recipe. I need a brown rice substitute that is raw. I like raw yellow squash so that not the problems. But what can be substituted for brown rice. I am totally crazy for the taste and texture of brown rice, any help would be appreciated.:)

i used sprouted barley in a soup and it was similar to the texture of brown rice

many people use cauliflower cut up very finely...

you can, of course, sprout some wild rice!

Sprouted wild rice is the best - very easy to do, though it takes a few days, so plan ahead!

If you buy wild, hand-collected rice you can simply soak it overnight and use it right away.

Good luck!

try soaking rye wheat seed 48 hours

it becomes soft / chewy

i speculate adding things to soaking water
to alter taste could be very good

say tomato / onion / garlic juiced for a savory tasting raw grain

say apple juice and cinnamon for a sweeet raw grain

and to this soaked rye ive added fine chopped tomato /
onion / parsley / garlic for a meal

Hi, what kind of barley do you use that sprouts?

I heard pearl barley is steam processed and does not soak.

Do you use hulled?
