What’s organic rice starch?
Organic Rice Starch is a fine, white powder derived from organically grown rice, processed through a natural extraction process. It is an all-natural, non-GMO, and gluten-free ingredient commonly used as a thickener, stabilizer, and texture enhancer in a wide range of food, beverage, and industrial applications. Certified organic by USDA and EU standards, Organic Rice Starch is ideal for clean-label products, offering a versatile and functional solution for a variety of product formulations.
Key Features:
- 100% Organic: Certified by USDA and EU Organic, ensuring no synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or GMOs.
- Gluten-Free: Naturally free of gluten, making it suitable for individuals with celiac disease or those following a gluten-free diet.
- Neutral Taste: Has a mild, neutral flavor that doesn’t alter the taste profile of the final product.
- High Binding Capacity: Ideal for use as a binder, thickener, or emulsifier in various applications.
- Non-Allergenic: Safe for most individuals with food allergies, as it is free from common allergens like dairy, nuts, and soy.

Production Process:
The production of Organic Rice Starch follows a natural, gentle extraction method to ensure the product retains its organic and functional qualities.
- Rice Sourcing: The process begins with sourcing high-quality organic rice, grown without synthetic pesticides or chemicals. The rice is carefully selected to ensure purity and consistency.
- Separation and Extraction: The rice kernels are soaked in water to soften them, then the starch is extracted through a wet milling process. This ensures the starch is efficiently separated from the rice and retains its natural properties.
- Purification: The extracted starch is then purified to remove any remaining impurities, proteins, and fibers, ensuring a high-purity, clean product.
- Drying and Milling: The purified rice starch is dried to reduce moisture content and milled into a fine powder. This step helps achieve the desired consistency and flowability of the final product.
- Quality Control: Every batch of Organic Rice Starch is rigorously tested for purity, moisture content, and consistency. It undergoes testing to meet USDA and EU organic certification standards and is checked for the absence of contaminants.
