Bob's Red Mill Sweet White Rice Flour is milled from a special variety of rice, often known as "sticky rice," that is very starchy and has exceptional binding qualities. It is an excellent ingredient for baking gluten free muffins, breads, pastries and cakes. It is also a superb thickener for soups, sauces and gravies. Sweet white rice flour is naturally gluten-free, rich in carbohydrates and low in fat.
