Everyone knows that brown rice is healthier than white rice, but often kids prefer white food and white rice. My kids never ate brown rice until I started soaking the brown rice before cooking. You can soak ordinary brown rice for 30 minutes in hot water or up to 8 hours overnight to soften the bran layer which takes longer to cook. Brown Basmati rice can be soaked for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Just put it in a bowl on the kitchen. It is not rocket science– just put some rice in a bowl and fill the bowl with twice as much water as rice and leave at room temperature. Drain the rice in a colander and rinse under running water.
