What it is
Rice flour is a flour made from finely ground rice. Corn starch is a starch made from the endosperm of corn kernels. Both are common gluten-free carbohydrate sources used in food production.
Why it's used
These ingredients are often used as thickeners and binders in sauces, gravies, and soups. They also serve as bulking agents and texturizers in baked goods, snacks, and processed foods, contributing to a desirable mouthfeel and structure.
Health notes
Both rice flour and corn starch are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily sources of carbohydrates and can contribute to blood sugar levels. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated starches and flours, but specific health claims or limits are not typically assigned to these basic ingredients in their natural forms.
Allergen info
Rice flour is not a major allergen. Corn starch is not a major allergen. Neither is derived from one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Not applicable for gluten.
