When it comes to gluten-free baking, not all flours are created equal. For formulators, chefs, and food brands focused on taste, texture, and clean labels, rice flour continues to rise to the top—literally.

At Exceedient Foods, we know the power rice flour holds for bakers everywhere. We’re sharing our top reasons why rice is the flour of choice for gluten-free applications and how we ensure consistent quality every time.

1. Rice Flour Creates the Texture You’re After
   Gluten-free doesn’t have to mean dense or crumbly. Rice flour’s natural stickiness traps air, helping breads rise and cakes stay fluffy—no gums required. Our medium-grain rice also adds a crisp, clean crunch ideal for snacks, crackers, and coatings.
   
   
2. A Clean Label Dream
   Rice’s neutral taste and color make it incredibly adaptable—no flavor masking needed. That means fewer additives, less sugar, salt, and simpler ingredients. It’s an ideal match for brands prioritizing transparency and wholesomeness.
   
   
3. No Gluten, No Guesswork
   At Exceedient Foods, our rice-only milling facility eliminates the risk of cross-contamination. Every batch goes through rigorous screening, color sorting, and sifting to ensure gluten-free purity from the moment it enters the mill.
   
   
4. Allergen-Friendly by Nature
   Unlike almond or oat flour, rice is free from the top allergens and easy on sensitive systems. It’s also non-GMO, something more and more consumers are prioritizing, giving it an edge over corn-based alternatives.
   
   Pro Tip: All Exceedient rice flours are non-GMO and fully traceable, offering peace of mind built in.
   
   
5. Reliable, Repeatable Performance
   From particle size to moisture control, consistency matters in gluten-free baking. Our vertically integrated supply chain gives formulators predictable results and high-performing flour in every bag.

“At Exceedient, we’re building smarter solutions for clean-label, gluten-free baking—rooted in reliable, high-performance rice.”
