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 include white rice flour (derived from husked white rice) and brown rice flour (derived from whole grains of brown rice) . Although this product has gained popularity in Polish cuisine relatively recently, its history dates back more than 6,000 years. At that time, the first cultivation of rice was established in China, which only found its way to European countries at the beginning of the 5th century of modern times. Interestingly, it didn't gain popularity quickly. Nonetheless, it was widely used in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Italian and Greek cuisine.
Rice grain flour is a real treasury of valuable nutrients for health and, most importantly, it does not contain gluten in its composition. However, it is worth knowing that it can provide our body with large amounts of B vitamins (including: thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and pyridoxine) . In addition, it is an excellent source of zinc and other minerals (including phosphorus, magnesium and potassium) that can positively affect the functioning of our body. The fiber in rice flour is also important.
This product is characterized by a white color and a loose structure. It has a neutral taste and smell. Therefore, it can be easily added to both salty and sweet dishes. However, it is important to know that rice flour is not a sticky product due to the lack of gluten. In addition, it is not responsible for the characteristic richness of baked goods that can be achieved through the use of wheat flour. Therefore, we should remember that pasta, pancakes or cookies made from rice flour are characterized by much greater tenderness and hardness. For the best consistency, mix rice flour with other gluten-free flours (such as corn or potato flour) . Interestingly, to increase the stickiness of rice flour, it's worth adding soaked flaxseeds, bananas, or increased amounts of eggs.

APPLICATION
Rice flour not only has an important place 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;
- Second, rice flour can be used to thicken aromatic soups and sauces;
- Third, it is worth making light noodles or rice paper, which are used to make spring rolls full of vegetables;
- Fourth, without any obstacles, you can make pancakes or gluten-free pancakes.
Interestingly, rice flour is also used in cosmetics. Thanks to valuable minerals, it has a positive effect on the condition of our skin, hair and nails. In addition, when used in the form of a mask (in combination with natural yoghurt), it can delay the aging process of the skin.
Because of the lack of gluten, rice flour is not sticky and the products do not become plump as in the case of wheat flour. Therefore, cookies or pasta prepared therewith become excessively fragile and brittle. Recipes recommend increasing the number of eggs from 1 to 2 extra. To increase the stickiness of the rice flour, you can also use a mashed banana or ground flaxseeds soaked in a little water.
