HAKUBAKU Germinated Brown Rice is a product made from brown rice that has been allowed to germinate just until tiny sprouts begin to appear. This process is designed to enhance its nutritional value and improve its texture, making it a healthier and more palatable alternative to regular brown rice.

Nutritional Enhancement (GABA): The germination process significantly increases the levels of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an amino acid associated with various health benefits like supporting brain function and reducing stress. HAKUBAKU's germinated brown rice boasts a notable GABA content, with one source citing 13.0mg per 100g. This is considerably higher than what is found in regular white or brown rice.

Improved Texture and Taste: A common complaint about brown rice is its hard, chewy texture. HAKUBAKU uses a unique "rice clean" milling method and carefully selected rice varieties to make their germinated brown rice soft, chewy, and easier to eat, even for first-timers. This improved texture makes it suitable for dishes like onigiri (rice balls), as it doesn't become crumbly when cold.
