Product description
COLD-MILLED FROM ORGANIC WHITE RICE
This flour is prepared by cold-milling premium organic white rice — a gentler process than heat-based milling, which helps preserve the rice's natural aroma and reduces nutrient degradation from heat exposure. The result is a finely milled, smooth-textured flour free from additives, preservatives, and bleaching agents, retaining the rice's natural taste rather than a processed, neutral flavour.
AN HONEST NOTE ON WHITE RICE FLOUR AND FIBRE
This is white rice flour, not brown rice flour — a distinction worth being clear about. White rice flour is naturally lower in fibre (typically around 2g per 100g) than brown rice flour, besan, or oat flour, and has a higher glycemic index than these alternatives. This isn't a flaw — it's simply what white rice flour is, and it's part of why it produces the lighter, smoother texture traditional dishes like dosa and idiyappam are known for. If fibre density is your priority, we'd point you toward our besan or oat flour instead; if a light, mild, traditional rice flour is what you need, this is it.
NATURALLY GLUTEN-FREE
Because rice flour is made from rice rather than wheat, it is naturally gluten-free — a genuine, suitable alternative for those with gluten sensitivities or following a plant-based diet. As with any naturally gluten-free grain, those with coeliac disease or severe gluten sensitivity should confirm cross-contamination controls directly with us if that's a concern.
GENTLE ON DIGESTION — WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS
Rice flour's low fibre content is part of why it's traditionally considered easy to digest and is often used in baby food and for those easing back into eating after illness — less fibre can mean less digestive effort for some people in specific situations. This is a genuine, traditional use case, though it's worth understanding as a trade-off (lower fibre) rather than a blanket health advantage over higher-fibre flours, which carry their own genuine benefits for most people in everyday use.
HOW TO USE— A GLOBAL KITCHEN ESSENTIAL
- Traditional, versatile, and a kitchen staple across South Indian and Southeast Asian cooking.
- Dosa and idiyappam: the traditional, standard flour for these South Indian dishes.
- Pancakes: blended into a smooth batter, optionally with milk and egg, for a light, soft pancake.
- Crispy fritters and pakoras: combined with spices and vegetables for a crisp, golden coating.
- Bread and cookies: blended with other flours for added lightness and a softer texture.
- Thickening soups, gravies, and sauces: used in small quantities as a smooth, reliable thickener.
- Baby food: a traditional, mild-flavoured first food, always introduced per your paediatrician's guidance.
- Coating for frying: a light, crisp coating for vegetables or other foods before frying.
- Sweets and rice noodles: used traditionally in a range of South and Southeast Asian sweets and noodle preparations.
