What it is

Rice flour is a flour made from finely ground rice grains. It is a common ingredient in many cuisines, especially Asian cooking, and is produced by milling rice into a fine powder. It is naturally gluten-free.

Why it's used

Rice flour is used as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies, and as a primary ingredient in gluten-free baked goods like bread and pasta. It can also be used to create a crispier texture in fried foods.

Health notes

Rice flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a carbohydrate source and provides energy. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated rice flour, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI) as it is considered a food ingredient. Evidence on the health effects of rice flour consumption at typical dietary levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns about arsenic levels in rice products.

Allergen info

Rice flour is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
