A novel food material or food using germinant grains from grains, such as unmilled rice and miscellaneous cereals, not only having its eating taste, such as sweetness or flavor, enhanced by alanine but also having realized ready intake of gamma-aminobutyric acid. In particular, a food material or food is produced using germinant grains obtained by immersing grains in an aqueous solution containing bittern ingredient or magnesium chloride. In the use of unmilled rice or miscellaneous cereals as the grains, "unmilled rice odor" or "miscellaneous cereal odor" being odor peculiar to the unmilled rice or miscellaneous cereals can be reduced. In the use of unmilled rice obtained from early reaped green rice, "unmilled rice odor" peculiar to unmilled rice can be more effectively reduced than in the use of ordinary unmilled rice. |
