The filtrate is composed of water, ions (sodium, potassium, chloride), glucose and small proteins (less than 30,000 daltons -- a dalton is a unit of molecular weight). The rate of filtration is approximately 125 ml/min or 45 gallons (180 liters) each day.he filtrate is composed of water, ions (sodium, potassium, chloride), glucose and small proteins (less than 30,000 daltons -- a dalton is a unit of molecular weight).

In a saucepan bring water, salt and soy sauce to a boil. Add rice and stir. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Heat oil in a medium skillet or wok over medium heat. Saute onions and green beans for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in egg and fry for 2 minutes, scrambling egg while it cooks. Stir in the cooked rice, mix well and sprinkle with pepper.
It should be al dente. So as you can see, cooking brown rice can be as easy and quick as giving it a rinse and cooking for 30 minutes, or it can take as long as a day and a half to soak and prepare the rice for that final 30 minutes of actual cooking time. It is up to you how much effort you want to put into it.
