Description
Rice flour is a fine, powdery flour made from finely milled rice grains. It is a staple in many cuisines around the world, especially in gluten-free baking and cooking. Known for its neutral flavor and smooth texture, rice flour serves as a versatile base in both sweet and savory dishes. It is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with gluten sensitivities or following a gluten-free lifestyle.
In baking, rice flour is commonly used to make light and airy gluten-free cakes, cookies, and bread, often as part of a flour blend to improve texture. It can also be used as a thickening agent in sauces, soups, and gravies, providing a smooth, silky finish. In Asian cuisines, rice flour plays an essential role in making dumplings, noodles, and rice cakes.
