What it is

Salted rice wine is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from rice, similar to sake but with added salt. The fermentation process breaks down rice starches into sugars, which are then converted into alcohol by yeast. Salt is added during or after fermentation to preserve it and enhance its flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use salted rice wine as a flavoring agent in various dishes, particularly in Asian cuisine. Its savory and slightly sweet profile adds depth to marinades, sauces, stir-fries, and braised dishes. It is commonly found in sushi, deli items, and ethnic sauces.

Health notes

Salted rice wine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The primary health concern associated with salted rice wine is its sodium content, which can contribute to high blood pressure in some individuals. JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) has evaluated many food additives, and EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) also assesses food ingredients. Typical consumption in food products is not expected to pose health risks for most people.

Allergen info

Salted rice wine is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is made from rice, which does not contain gluten.
