What it is

Rice oil, also known as rice bran oil, is a vegetable oil extracted from the bran of rice grains. The bran is the outer layer of the rice kernel, which is removed during the milling process. It is then typically refined to create a clear, odorless oil.

Why it's used

Rice oil is used as a cooking oil and a food ingredient due to its high smoke point and neutral flavor. Manufacturers add it to processed foods like snacks, baked goods, and noodles for its frying stability and to contribute to texture.

Health notes

Rice oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and contains compounds like oryzanol, which has been studied for potential health benefits. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated rice bran oil. Evidence on the health effects of rice oil consumption is ongoing.

Allergen info

Rice oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
