About Rice starch

Rice starch is the carbohydrate fraction separated from rice, rather than milled whole-rice flour. It is a fine, usually white powder with a mild flavour and a smooth texture. Its granules absorb water and thicken or set when heated, with performance depending on the starch and how it has been processed.

It is used in batters, confectionery and thin sheets, as well as other food applications requiring a starch ingredient. Products may be native or modified and can differ in purity, moisture and processing. Rice flour contains more components of the grain and should not be described as rice starch.
