Soaking Wild Rice
July 14, 2009 - 6:47am
I have been soaking some organic wild rice for almost 24 hours and it has not split yet. It's softer, yes, but definitely not where it should be at this point. What am I doing wrong? All the literature I have read says 24 hours is suitable soaking time, but it's just not happening. Anyone have advice or tips?
Thank you!!! :)

I don't think it has to split open, just make sure to change your water often. taste and see if its soft enough.

On another thread, daniefon offered this: "I usually soak it in the refridgerator until it starts to split. it seems to me that it takes a couple of days. I change the water daily." There is also some information on sprouting rice at sproutpeople.com. They recommend changing the water more often . . . every 12 hours I think.

is this a good thing to do? it seems like rice would be hard to digest.

i've soaked wild rice. It can take three or four days. You have to refrigerate it, or it goes bad. Changing the water every few hours is also a good idea. Eventually, it will split, and when it does, it's very tasty. Just be prepared to wait a while :-)
