What it is
Rice crust is a coating made from ground rice, often combined with other ingredients like starches, flours, and seasonings. It is typically applied to foods like fish, chicken, or vegetables before cooking to create a crispy texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use rice crust as a coating to provide a crunchy texture and a savory flavor to processed foods. It is commonly found in frozen appetizers, seafood products, and vegetarian alternatives.
Health notes
Rice crust itself is generally considered safe for consumption as it is made from rice, a common food staple. Regulatory bodies like the FDA have not raised specific concerns about rice crust as a food ingredient. While rice is a source of carbohydrates, typical consumption within a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many rice-derived ingredients, and generally consider them safe.
Allergen info
Rice is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Gluten is also not typically present in rice crust, making it a suitable option for those with wheat allergies or celiac disease.
