Flour Powder

Product Details:

Rice Flour is a particularly good substitute for wheat flour, which causes irritation in the digestive systems of those who are gluten-intolerant. Rice flour is also used as a thickening agent in recipes that are refrigerated or frozen since it inhibits liquid separation.

Rice flour is the powder obtained by finely grinding rice grains. Because of the absence of irritants, rice flour is a popular option as a carbohydrate source, inviting wide applications in the food industry, as thickening agents and binding agents.

Rice flour can be sourced from white, red or brown rice, each having its own features, consistencies and carbohydrate contents. Rice flour is extensively used in baking and cooking, a wide range of dishes and food products. Brown rice is also used to cultivate mushrooms in conjunction with vermiculite.
