What it is
Organic rice hull is the hard, protective outer layer of the rice grain. It is separated from the rice kernel during milling. It is often ground into a powder for use as a food ingredient.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic rice hull primarily as an anti-caking agent. It helps prevent powders like spices and seasonings from clumping together. You can find it in seasoning mixes, salts, and some dried fruit and vegetable products.
Health notes
Organic rice hull is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-caking agent. It is considered indigestible and passes through the body. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. There are no widespread health concerns associated with its use at typical levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Rice is not one of the nine major allergens, nor does it contain gluten.
