What it is

Rice powder is made from ground rice grains. It is a fine powder that can be produced from various types of rice, including white, brown, or glutinous rice. The milling process breaks down the rice into a powder form, often used as a base ingredient.

Why it's used

Rice powder is used as a thickening agent, a binder, and a texturizer in food products. It is commonly found in snacks like chips and pretzels, as well as in seasoning mixes, marinades, and as a component in gluten-free baking. Its neutral flavor makes it versatile.

Health notes

Rice powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common food ingredient with no significant health concerns when consumed in typical amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar rice-derived ingredients.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten, making it suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
