What it is
Rice fiber is a dietary fiber derived from rice. It is typically produced by milling the bran layer of the rice grain, separating it from the starchy endosperm. This process yields a fine powder rich in insoluble and soluble fiber.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add rice fiber to foods to increase their fiber content. It can also act as a texturizer, improving mouthfeel and structure in products. It is commonly found in baked goods, cereals, and snack bars.
Health notes
In the US, rice fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various fiber sources, but specific evaluations for rice fiber may vary. Evidence generally supports the role of dietary fiber in a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Rice fiber is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
