Rice germ oil
Rice germ oil is edible oil extracted specifically from rice germ, used in cooking or prepared foods and distinct from oil obtained from rice bran.
About Rice germ oil
Rice germ oil is oil extracted from the germ of rice grains. It is a liquid edible oil, usually pale yellow to golden, with a mild flavour that may be lightly nutty. It is used in cooking and as an ingredient in prepared foods, although availability and use are less widespread than those of some common cooking oils.
The oil may be sold refined or less refined, and processing affects its colour, aroma, and suitability for particular cooking uses. It is distinct from rice bran oil, which is obtained from the bran fraction rather than specifically the germ. Product labels and extraction methods therefore matter when identifying the oil.
