What it is

Brown rice flour is made from whole brown rice grains that have been ground into a fine powder. Brown rice is a whole grain, meaning it contains the bran, germ, and endosperm, offering more fiber and nutrients than white rice.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use brown rice flour as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking and noodle production. It provides structure and a slightly nutty flavor to products like pasta, bread, and baked goods.

Health notes

Brown rice flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber and some B vitamins. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various rice products, but specific evaluations of brown rice flour's health impacts at typical consumption levels are ongoing.

Allergen info

Brown rice flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
