Frequently asked questions

Is rice flour the same as glutinous rice flour?

No. Regular rice flour makes crisp batters and firm cakes; glutinous (sweet) rice flour makes chewy dough like mochi. Check the bag: this listing is regular rice flour.

Can I make masa (waina) with rice flour?

Yes. Many cooks use rice flour as a shortcut for Hausa masa rice cakes.

Is rice flour gluten free?

Rice has no gluten, but check the bag for a gluten-free label if you have an allergy.
