GABA Rice or Germinated Brown Rice and its Health Benefits
What is GABA Rice? Or Germinated Brown Rice (GBR)
GABA rice or GBR is brown rice that are nutritionally enhanced, naturally by germination. The rice has a much larger amount of the naturally occurring amino acid, gamma-amino bulyric acid (GABA). GABA rice or GBR was discovered in 2004 as part of the United Nation's Year of rice research. This GABA or GBR has drawn a lot of attention for its health benefits. GABA rice or GBR has twice the GABA of regular brown rice and ten times the GABA of white rice.

The benefits of GABA
GABA is a neurotransmitter blocker that promotes fat loss by stimulating the production of the Human Growth Hormone, increase the sleep cycle, giving deeper rest, boots the immune system, lowers blood pressure, inhibits development of cancer cells. GABA also directly responsible for the regulation of mucle tone. Japanese researchers have found that GABA rice helps to lower blood pressure, improve kidney function, reduce sleeplessness and it maybe helpful in preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Japanese researchers have shown that the GABA rice or GBR contain inhibitor of an enzyme called protylendopetidase, which is implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Japanese researcher also concluded that by continuing the intake of GABA rice or GBR is good for preventing headache, relieving constipation, preventing cancer of color, regulating blood sugar level and preventing heart disease.

Other Health Benefits of GBR
Other Health Benefits of GBR:
By sprouting whole grain brown rice, Gamma-oryzanol, ferulic acid also increased which many food scientists are now focusing on. The substance has an anti-oxidative effect that can prevent skin ageing and regulate cholesterol levels.
- Rich in Vitamins and Mineral
- Rich in Naturally-Occuring OilsRich in Anti-Oxidants Oil (especially Red and Black Rice).
- High on Dietary fibre.
- A slow-Release sugar

Difference between white rice, brown rice and GBR Brown rice
When only the outermost layer of paddy (the husk) is removed is call brown rice. Any rice, including long-grain, short-grain, red-grain or black rice may be eaten as brown rice. Brown rice has a shelf life of approximately 6 months and also depends on how and where to store.
About White Rice
By removing the next layers underneath the husk (bran layer and the germ) white rice is produced. When the bran and the germ are removed the oil in the bran and several vitamins, dietary minerals and dietary fibre are lost. Rice bran oil may help lower LDL cholesterol.
GABA or GBR
Soaking paddy in warm water for long hours to stimulate germination then remove the outermost layer (the husk). By this process which activities various enzymes in the rice and possible to obtain a more complete amino acid profile including GABA.
Which rice is Healthier for consumption?
Most people eat rice than any other grains but do not know which form of rice is more nutritious. The majority of customers typically choose which rice over brown rice because of appearance and more nutritious and had numerous health benefits but due to the fact that brown rice is hard to cook, hard to chew and also less tasty. Now GABA rice or GBR has overcome the problem which can be cooked in an ordinary rice cooker and is soft enough to chew and has a mellow flavor.
米中的精髓——胚芽米
抗老化 增強免疫系統
您或許曾聽過白米、糙米、黑米、糯米，但對於胚芽米這一個名詞，您或許還是陌生的。
胚芽米，或稱之為發芽米，取自糙米的活性種子，在經過特別挑選後，放入溫水浸泡數十個小時、烘乾至攪拌而成，屬營養成份高的一種精髓米糧。
胚芽米內涵豐富的氨基丁酸（Gamma-amino Bulyric Acid，GABA），是天然存在的非蛋白質氨基酸。
要將胚芽米製成可以上桌的食用米飯，必須耗費不少時間及成本進行加工，尤其在浸泡過程，需時時刻刻確保溫度處於適溫，由專人輪值看守，定時更換浸泡水，保障生產出來的胚芽米取得良好品質。
2004年，它在聯合國的“國際稻米年”中被發掘，獲得研究證實其營養成份高。胚芽米比糙米高出雙倍氨基丁酸，甚至比白米高出十倍的氨基丁酸成份，對人體有益。
攝取胚芽米的好處：
胚芽米成份中的氨基丁酸可以刺激人體生長激素，同時達到去脂，幫助良好的睡眠週期，進而使人體得到深層的休息，進一步增強人體免疫系統、降低血壓，有效抑制癌細胞增長。
根據日本的研究，胚芽米可以幫助降低血壓，提高腎臟功能，減少失眠，同時可以預防老年癡呆癥的病發率，主要原因是其內涵的酶成份，有抑制該病癥的發病作用。
日本研究同時證實，若長時間攝取胚芽米，可以降低患上大腸癌的風險，調節血糖水平以及預防心臟疾病。
攝取胚芽米不但可以帶來以上好處，該內涵成份的營養還有豐富的維他命、礦物質、天然生產油、抗氧化油、高纖維及低糖份。
糙米中的胚芽若得到全面發芽，其當中的谷維素（Gamma-oryzanol）和阿魏酸（Ferulic
Acid）會跟著增加，也是當今食品科學家所專註研究的領域。有關成份可達到抗氧化作用，減緩皮膚老化，調節膽固醇水平
什麼是糙米：
剖開稻穀的最外層，也就是稻殼之後，就是俗稱的糙米。任何米粒，無論是長米、短米或紅糙米，都只有約6個月的保質期，不過，其時限長短也需視米的存放方式及環境而出現差異。
什麼是白米：
進一步往糙米的下一層除去米糠層和胚芽之後，白米隨即產生。然而，在除去米糠層和胚芽的同時，其當中成份的米糠油和多種維他命、營養礦物質和纖維也一併失去了。米糠油的存在可以幫助減緩低密度脂蛋白膽固醇（LDL-Cholesterol）的增長。
什麼是胚芽米：
將水稻從稻田中割除後立即烘乾，確保其在乾燥的情況下取得良好保存，預防發霉產生毒素。
隨後，將稻穀置放在一地方安置，讓它度過睡眠期，這期間的它並不會發芽，也不適宜製作胚芽米，直到幾個星期後取出觀察，找尋發芽率高的稻穀，將之浸泡在經處理過的溫水。
浸泡過程一點都不得馬虎，不但需要有專人輪替守著，確保水溫一直處於適當溫度，交替更換浸泡水，同時經臭氧機為水殺菌，附加營養劑，在完成浸泡數十個小時後，取出，烘乾，除去穀殼，即成胚芽米。
現今，胚芽米在日本和臺灣甚為普遍，由於製作程序較為複雜且多工，加上營養成份高，所以售價也相對較高。
哪一種米對人體較好？
在多樣的穀物類當中，大家以攝取米飯佔大多數，可是，究竟哪些米食可帶來較高的營養成份呢？
比較糙米，現代人大多數會選擇白米，因為白米的外形白而美，比較美味，容易入口。
實際上，很多人知道糙米擁有比較高的營養成份，了解它對人體健康帶來正面作用，可是，因為糙米很難煮熟、不好咀嚼加上較差的口感，所以大多數人不選擇糙米。
如今，比白米和糙米更為豐富的胚芽米已經誕生，不但解決難以煮熟的問題，而且比較容易咀嚼、更加美味，最重要的是，其內涵的營養成份，適合全家大小食用，可謂好處俱全！
