Germinated Brown Rice

I was pleasantly surprised to find this germinated brown rice selling at NTUC Fairprice for $5.95 for 1 kg!!!  What a steal!!

There are various health benefits for taking this - apparently germination makes the rice more alkaline and nutrients more available to the body or something like that.  (That's what I read in one of these whole-foods encyclopedias I have sitting around at home).

And the only reason I heard about this was I found it selling at a whopping $30 for 1 kg at Fancl!!!!
