Rice Flour: An Essential Ingredient in the Food Industry
Rice flour is increasingly recognized as a key ingredient in the food industry due to its versatility, nutritional value, and functional properties. At Better Foods Group, we are committed to providing high-quality rice flour, produced from selected grains and carefully processed to meet the specific requirements of the bakery, pastry, infant nutrition, and other industrial sectors.
Naturally gluten-free, rice flour is a safe alternative for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, while also addressing the growing demand for healthier and more inclusive food options. It is also easy to digest, low in fat, and hypoallergenic—features that make it suitable for specialized diets and health-conscious consumers.
Beyond meeting the needs of gluten-free consumers, rice flour stands out for its ability to enhance the texture, volume, and digestibility of final products. Its lightness and high water absorption capacity make it especially valued in formulations aiming to balance taste and nutritional quality.
