What it is

Whole brown rice flour is made from whole brown rice grains that have been milled into a fine powder. It retains the bran and germ of the rice kernel, which are removed to make white rice flour. This process preserves more of the grain's natural nutrients and fiber.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole brown rice flour as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking. It provides structure and a slightly nutty flavor to products like breads, muffins, and cookies. It is also found in some snack foods such as chips and crackers.

Allergen info

Whole brown rice flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
