I cooked it like white rice once it was sprouted like this with equal parts rice and water. It was one cup sprouted into just under 2 cups size. It was a bit sweeter than normal and very creamy. I guess it makes sense it was sweet, I essentially malted it.
Just to further add to this, almost all cooking/food preparation increases calorie content and nutritional value. Cooking is basically starting some of the digestive processes early, meaning your body has an easier time absorbing nutrients.
Certainly not even close to magical thinking
