What it is

Organic rice hulls are the protective outer layers of the rice grain, separated during the milling process. They are a byproduct of rice production and are typically processed to be clean and safe for food use. They are primarily composed of fiber and cellulose.

Why it's used

Rice hulls are used as a source of dietary fiber and as an anti-caking agent to prevent powders from clumping. They can also serve as a processing aid in some food manufacturing. They are found in snacks, soups, and other processed foods.

Health notes

Organic rice hulls are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of insoluble fiber, which can aid digestion. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various forms of fiber, but specific evaluations for rice hulls as a food ingredient may vary. At typical intake levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Rice hulls are not a source of gluten.
