Rice is mainly consumed as cooked rice, but during the last
decade the consumption of rice flour has increased due to its
application in breadmaking. Rice has unique sensorial and
nutritional advantages for developing gluten-free foods.
Specifically, rice flour has a neutral flavor, low levels of sodium, easy
digestibility, hypoallergenic proteins, and does not contain gluten.
These characteristics make rice flour a suitable ingredient for
gluten-free bakery products
