Re: Soaking rice

Hey guys, i'm sorry to say but you are quite misinformed about the reason for soaking grains. Soaking grains is done to remove phytic acid which is one of the seeds natural defense mechanisms. The phytic acid is very hard on human digestive systems and actually prevents us from absorbing minerals such as zinc and iron. All grains MUST be soaked. Millet, buckwheat , quinoa etc require 24 hours optimally. Rice should be soaked for two days or more. Hope this helps.
