I really recommend GBR-germinated brown rice. You soak your brown rice for 16-24 hours, at at least 70 degrees, then cook as normal, but for less time, maybe about the same as white rice. My husband says that it "eats like white rice" and it is definitely more palatable for getting used to brown rice. The thing I noticed is that it smells different when it is soaking and when it is cooking. A very good kind of different. If you research it, you find that GBR actually makes more nutrients to feed the germinating plant, and it is therefore much better for you even than unsoaked brown rice. One try, and I was personally hooked. You just need to plan ahead by a day when you want to serve rice.

I’ve not tried this yet but will be very soon!

I haven’t managed to convert my family to brown rice yet, but I have a small 1kg bag of it in our pantry for my sushi which I take to school. 🙂
