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.
Yes, but as always it depends. It has to be a whole seed with the hull and germ intact. Red lentils won’t sprout for example because those are brown lentils with the outer hull removed. So there are lots of refined grains like this that won’t sprout like white rice, moong dal (sabut moong will sprout), pearled barley etc
