Rice can be ground into flour for many uses, including making beverages such as horchata, rice milk, and sake. Rice does not contain gluten, so it can be eaten by people with sensitivities to gluten. Rice may also be made into various types of noodles. If you're going raw, you can eat brown rice after soaking and sprouting over 7 to 30 days.

There are many varieties of rice, but the main distinction is between long-grain and short-grain rice. Long-grain rice tends to remain intact after cooking; short-grain rice becomes stickier. Short-grain rice is used for sweet dishes, for risotto in Italy, and for sushi, which requires a stickier rice to hold the ingredients together.

Rice should be soaked prior to cooking, which saves fuel, decreases cooking time, and improves digestibility. Although people around the world have probably been eating germinated brown rice for thousands of years, the process was rediscovered in 2004, as part of the research during the United Nation's Year of Rice. Germinating brown rice involves soaking washed brown rice for 22 hours in warm water (32° C or 90° F) prior to cooking it. Germination activates various enzymes in the rice. These enzymes deactivate the seeds natural defenses against being digested, and increase the nutrients you can absorb from the rice. The most highly touted nutrient that is increased tenfold through germination is an amino acid called gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA, which encourages emotional and mental well-being and improves kidney function. Germinated rice contains much more fiber than conventional brown rice, and three times the amount of the essential amino acid lysine. Germination also improves the availability of calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin E and many B vitamins. Eating germinated brown rice can lower blood pressure, improve brain function, and relieve some symptoms of menopause. It also may prevent headaches, relieve constipation, regulate blood sugar, and even prevent Alzheimer's disease and some cancers, including colon cancer and leukemia.
