Outback Harvest Brown Rice Flour

Brown Rice Flour

As awareness of gluten sensitivities grows, wholegrain brown rice flour has become a valuable, healthier, gluten-free option for people with gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease and cooks looking for their next taste sensation. Unlike its more processed counterpart, white rice flour, brown rice flour retains its bran and germ layers, producing a product rich in flavour and packed with essential nutrients. 

With its light tan colour and nutty undertones, our brown rice flour is an excellent choice for health-conscious consumers. The flour is suitable for all types of baking and cooking, with uses ranging from thickening sauces to creating wholegrain rice noodles, pancakes, pizza dough, pie crusts, loaves, and tasty baked goods. 

The secret to our brown rice flour's rich textures and dense nutrient profile lies in the production process. De-Hulling removes the inedible outer layer of the grain, while the remaining grain is left intact along with its bran and germ layers. Milling grinds the grain into a fine flour and is crucial in determining the flour's characteristic taste.

Health Benefits and Nutritional Information

Brown rice flour's rich nutritional profile makes it a worthwhile ingredient for those searching for healthier alternatives to more refined wheat flour products. The flour is primarily comprised of carbohydrates, averaging around 76.5g per 100g, making it an excellent energy source. 

The remaining is made up of approx 7 grams of protein, just under 3 grams of fat (the healthy, unsaturated kind), and 4 to 5 grams of fibre, significantly higher than processed wheat flour. 

Brown rice flour is packed full of vitamins and minerals, including:

• B-Vitamins, including thiamin, niacin, and vitamin B-6

• Magnesium

• Phosphorous

• Potassium

• Iron

• Zinc

Compared to refined wheat flour, brown rice flour offers a higher fibre content and more vitamins and minerals in a package containing fewer calories. With around 4.6 grams of fibre content, brown rice flour loses to whole wheat flour, which contains around 12g. However, being gluten-free with a rich nutritional profile more than makes up for this minor shortcoming.
