Rice Flour is very popular for the preparation of a variety of Asian noodles. It's used in some baked goods, such as cakes, cookies, and dumplings, but because the flour contains no gluten, it is not suitable for baking yeast breads. Rice Flour must be combined with wheat flour in order to attain the properties of gluten elasticity necessary for yeast dough to properly rise. Rice flour contains high levels of protein, but it contains much less vitamins, minerals, and fiber than brown rice because the bran and germ has been removed. Rice Flour has a unique property that it is Gluten Free, so it can be useful to people who have allergy from Gluten.
