White rice flour

Description

White rice flour is a fine, silky powder with a snow-white color and a mildly neutral-sweet taste that does not overpower dishes but gives them lightness and a subtle texture. Its neutrality makes it easy to combine with various flavors and aromas without disrupting the culinary composition. Nutritionally, it primarily serves as a source of easily digestible carbohydrates, contains small amounts of protein and fat, and trace amounts of B vitamins and minerals like manganese. It is naturally gluten-free, easily digestible, and often used in elimination diets or for those with gluten intolerance. In the kitchen, rice flour works well as an ingredient in gluten-free baking, a thickener for sauces and soups, a base for cakes, pancakes, breading, or Asian pancakes and tempura. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light and strong odors; for longer storage, it is advisable to keep it in the refrigerator or freezer.
