Rice flour 1000g - VIVIO

Rice flour is a natural product obtained by grinding raw rice. There are several types of this product on the market. Among the most popular of these are white rice flour (obtained from husked white rice) and brown rice flour (obtained from whole brown rice grains) . Although this product has gained popularity in Polish cuisine relatively recently, its history goes back more than 6,000 years. It was then that the first rice cultivation was established in China, which only found its way to European lands at the beginning of the 5th century AD. Interestingly, it did not gain popularity quickly. Nevertheless, it was widely used in Mediterranean cuisine, with particular emphasis on Italian and Greek cuisine.
Rice flour is a treasure trove of nutrients that are valuable for our health, and most importantly, it does not contain gluten. However, it is important to know that it is able to 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) , which can positively affect the functioning of our body. The fiber contained in rice flour is also important.
This product is characterized by a white color and a loose structure. It has a neutral taste and aroma. Therefore, it can be easily added to both savory and sweet dishes. However, it is worth knowing that due to the lack of gluten, rice flour is not a sticky product. In addition, it is not responsible for giving the characteristic roundness to baked goods, which can be obtained using wheat flour. Therefore, remember that pasta, pancakes or biscuits made from rice flour will be characterized by much greater tenderness and hardness. For optimal consistency, mix rice flour with other gluten-free flours (e.g. corn or potato flour) . Interestingly, in order to increase the stickiness of rice flour, it is worth adding soaked flax seeds, bananas or increased quantities of eggs.

Interestingly, rice flour is also used in cosmetics. Thanks to valuable minerals, it has a beneficial effect on the condition of our skin, hair, and nails. In addition, when used as a mask (in combination with natural yogurt) , it can delay the aging process of the skin.
Due to its lack of gluten, rice flour isn't sticky, and the products won't be as plump as wheat flour. Therefore, cookies or pasta made with it will be too fragile and brittle. Recipes recommend increasing the number of eggs by 1 to 2. To increase the stickiness of rice flour, you can also use mashed banana or ground flax seeds soaked in a little water.
