Rice flour 1000g - VIVIO

Rice flour is a natural product made by grinding raw rice. We can distinguish several types of this product on the market. The most popular are white rice flour (obtained from hulled white rice) and brown rice flour (obtained from whole brown rice grains) . Although this product gained popularity in Polish cuisine relatively recently, its history dates back over 6,000 years. It was then that rice cultivation was first established in China, and it only made its way to European countries at the beginning of the 5th century AD. Interestingly, it did not gain popularity quickly. Nevertheless, it was widely used in Mediterranean cuisine, especially in Italian and Greek cuisine.
Rice flour is a treasure trove of valuable nutrients for health, and most importantly, it contains no gluten. However, it's worth knowing that it can provide our bodies with large amounts of B vitamins (including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and pyridoxine) . It's also an excellent source of zinc and other minerals (including phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium) that can positively influence our body's function. The fiber in rice flour is also important.
This product is characterized by its white color and fluffy texture. It has a neutral taste and smell. Therefore, it can be easily added to both savory and sweet dishes. However, it is important to note that rice flour is not a sticky product due to its lack of gluten. Furthermore, it is not responsible for the characteristic richness of baked goods that can be achieved with wheat flour. Therefore, we should remember that noodles, pancakes, or cookies made with rice flour are characterized by much greater tenderness and firmness. For optimal consistency, mix rice flour with other gluten-free flours (such as corn or potato flour) . Interestingly, to increase the stickiness of rice flour, it is worth adding soaked flaxseeds, bananas, or increased amounts of eggs.

APPLICATION
Rice flour not only plays an important role in Oriental cuisine. It turns out that it is also widely used in the preparation of healthy European dishes.
- First of all, in combination with other gluten-free flours, it is perfect for baking cupcakes, cakes and even bread;
- Secondly, rice flour can be used to thicken aromatic soups and sauces;
- Thirdly, it is worth making light noodles or rice paper, which are used to make spring rolls full of vegetables;
- Fourthly, without any obstacles, you can prepare pancakes or gluten-free pancakes.
Interestingly, rice flour is also used in cosmetics. Thanks to its valuable minerals, it has a positive effect on the condition of our skin, hair, and nails. Furthermore, when used in the form of a mask (in combination with natural yogurt), it can slow down the aging process of the skin.
Due to the lack of gluten, rice flour is not sticky, and the products are not as plump as with wheat flour. Therefore, cookies or pasta made with it will be excessively fragile and brittle. Recipes recommend increasing the number of eggs from 1 to 2. To increase the stickiness of the rice flour, you can also use a mashed banana or ground flaxseed soaked in a little water.
