I was told to chew at least 100 times on brown rice to benefit all it nutrient. True?:(

I don't think so if you prepare it properly

From Wikipedia:

A nutritionally superior method of preparation known as GABA Rice or GBR, developed during the United Nations Year of Rice, may be used. This involves soaking washed brown rice for 20 hours in warm water (38 °C or 100 °F) prior to cooking it. This process stimulates germination, which activates various enzymes in the rice. By this method, it is possible to obtain a more complete amino acid profile, including GABA.

Enjoy!

Hi, Brown rice is great, no matter how fast or slow or how many times you chew it, you get the same wonderful nutrients, I,f you were advised to chew a lot, and on a diet, that's the reason, the more you chew and concetrate on what's in your mouth, the less you'll eat. The best part about brown rice it's high in magesuium, about 88% of daily requirement per day for one cup. This helps reduce severity of asthma, reduces headaches, reduces rish of heart attack and stroke, lower hgh blood pressure, it even helps in prevention of gall stones. The process that produces brown rice only removes other hull of rice kernal and makes the kernal even more nutritionally rich. Brown rice is full of selenium and fiber.. It contains at least 14% fiber, our daily requirement, 27% of selenium and other protein and minerals for cancer protection. It helps by lowering bad (ldc) cholestrol and helps with type 2 diabetes risk.
