Rice Protein

Rice protein is a plant-based protein derived from rice. It is produced by separating the protein from carbohydrates and fiber in rice grains, often through wet or dry processing methods. The resulting powder is a concentrated source of protein.

Manufacturers add rice protein to boost the protein content of foods. It is commonly found in plant-based milk alternatives, energy bars, baked goods mixes, and as a protein supplement. Its neutral flavor and texture make it a versatile ingredient.

Rice protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated protein ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical dietary intake.
