Bob's Red Mill Organic Stone Ground White Rice Flour
What it is
This is a finely milled flour made from organic white rice. The stone-grinding process helps to preserve the natural qualities of the grain. It is a pantry staple for many home cooks looking for a versatile flour. The texture is powdery and light, which is characteristic of rice flour.
How people cook with it
This flour is a popular choice for baking and thickening. It can be used in a variety of dishes.
- Thickening sauces
- Creating delicate batters
- Coating foods for frying
It absorbs moisture differently than wheat flour, so recipes may require adjustments to liquid content. In savory cooking, it works well as a thickening agent for gravies, soups, and stews. Its fine texture allows it to create a smooth consistency without grittiness. For frying, it provides a light and crispy coating for meats and vegetables.
How it differs from similar foods
It does not contain the same binding properties as wheat flour, so it may behave differently in recipes. Its flavor is very mild, allowing other ingredients to shine.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help prevent moisture absorption and keep the flour from going rancid. Proper storage ensures its quality for future use.
