What it is

Brown rice pasta is made from brown rice flour and water. It is a gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat pasta. The process typically involves mixing the flour and water into a dough, extruding it into pasta shapes, and then drying it.

Health notes

Brown rice pasta is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of fiber and some B vitamins. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated brown rice and its components, and it is considered safe for consumption. As a whole grain, it aligns with dietary guidelines promoting increased whole grain intake.
