Rise in Awareness Regarding Nutritional Benefits of Rice Flour Fuel the South & Central America Rice Flour Market

Rice flour is a healthy ingredient used in many food products such as bakery and confectionery, sweet and savory snacks, beverages, and baby foods. It comes in three varieties-medium & short grain, long grain, and pre-gelatinized. Rice flour is high in vitamin C and rich in antioxidants required for skin repair.

It helps maintain daily recommended intake levels when combined with other calcium-rich food, such as milk, cheese, tofu, and nuts. Hence, the increasing awareness regarding the nutritional benefits of rice flour among consumers is driving the market.
