What it is
Sprouted brown rice protein is a plant-based protein powder derived from brown rice. The sprouting process, which involves germinating the rice grains, is thought to increase the nutritional value and digestibility of the protein.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add sprouted brown rice protein to boost the protein content of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like cake and cookie mixes, nut and seed butters, and various beverages.
Health notes
Sprouted brown 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. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various protein sources, but specific evaluations for sprouted brown rice protein's health effects at typical consumption levels are not widely publicized. Evidence suggests it can contribute to meeting daily protein needs.
Allergen info
Sprouted brown rice protein is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
