Rice Pasta

Rice Flour Pasta

Rice pasta is a popular gluten‑free alternative to wheat pasta. It is made from rice flour, or a mixture with tapioca or cornstarch. In addition to “classic pasta shapes,” rice flour is also used to make rice noodles and rice paper, which are popular in countless Asian recipes. The benefits of rice pasta include:

• high content of complex carbohydrates,
• low fat content,
• suitable for celiacs and those allergic to gluten,
• a good source of manganese and selenium.

Rice pasta and noodles are made from so‑called refined (white) rice, which has its surface layers removed, making it lower in minerals and fibre and has a higher glycemic index compared to whole grain pasta. However, brown rice pasta is also available on the market .
