Are you talking about regular brown rice like we have in the West?

My teacher said a few times that brown rice was hard on the kidneys

and to make it easy on the kidneys, it should be heated for 24 hours.

He often used hyperbole to make a point so I take the 24 hour mark as

excessive. He suggested using Basmati rice over brown rice any day

because of the perceived kidney stress. He hinted that there may be

other rices better than Basmati though. You mentioned some earlier

that I did not recognize. That is probably why he suggested Basmati

because other rices are generally not on the open market.

and just to add, consider that a peya (rice gruel) made from brown or

partially milled rice is much more nutritious than a white rice

broth, providing important electrolytes and a broad range of minerals
