Abstract

The invention relates to germinated brown rice which can be easily and deliciously boiled even by a household rice cooker without impairing its original nutritive value, and has excellent mouth feel and shelf stability. The germinated brown rice can be provided by subjecting germinated brown rice to a heat-moisture treatment and drying the treated germinated brown rice to a water content of 10 to 18% by mass and a degree of gelatinization of 5 to 50%.
