Brown Rice Flour

Brown rice flour is made using the entire rice kernel so it is higher in fiber, minerals, and vitamins than white rice and it is gluten-free. It has no cholesterol, no saturated fat, no sodium, no sugars and provides thiamin, iron, potassium, and niacin.

Very soon I am going to experiment with grinding my own brown rice flours. Hopefully I can achieve a nice, powdery flour that will eliminate the gritty texture from my baked goods.

I recommend buying organic brown rice flours from Arrowhead Mills or Bob's Red Mill. Brown rice flour is easy to buy at almost any grocery store where bulk flours & grains are sold. It's usually about half the price [$1.50+ /lb] to buy it in bulk. Brown rice is even cheaper, so grinding it at home is definitely the way to go.
