GABA BROWN AND YUMAMI FUNCTIONS EXPLAINED

3.8.1 WHAT IS GABA BROWN?
The GABA brown rice (or germinated brown rice) function uses specific timing and temperatures so the brown
rice is allowed to germinate. When you select the GABA function on Bamboo it will soak and activate the brown
rice for you using its Umai (smart brain) fuzzy logic control, after which it begins to phase in the cooking process.
During this process, the inner bowl and its contents are kept at a specific temperature for part of the cooking
cycle which enables the brown rice to 'sprout'.
The full cooking time for GABA rice in Bamboo, including the additional activation period, takes around 2 hours 25
minutes to complete. The result of this process alters the flavour and increases the levels of nutrients such as
gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA brown rice has a softer texture than brown rice and a nuttier flavour.
3.8.2 WHAT IS YUMAMI?
Yumami or 'extra tasty' rice function on Bamboo enhances the flavour of any type of white rice by using a
specially designed cooking cycle.
It does this by using a sequence of soaking and steaming to release the sugars contained in the rice. These
sugars are then reabsorbed back into the rice as a different chemical structure and can attach to the surface of
the rice. This change in sugar chemistry can then activate Umami receptors of the tongue. The result is more
flavourful rice with improved texture and taste.
Usually the rice produced is fluffier, softer and sweeter (depending on the type of white grain used). The full
cooking time, including the special soaking and steaming, for the Yumami function on Bamboo is 1 hour, 6 minutes.
