Description

Brown rice protein is a plant-based powder obtained from whole rice grains that have undergone a separation and drying process. It ranges in colour from light beige to brown, has a delicate flavour with slightly nutty notes and a characteristic aroma of natural grains.

Rice protein concentrate is distinguished by its high protein content, low fat content and good digestibility. It is a valuable source of amino acids, and its plant origin makes it popular in vegan and dairy-free recipes.

Application

Rice protein is used in the food industry as a protein-enriching ingredient. It is used in nutritional supplements, bars, plant-based drinks, bread, desserts and snacks. It goes well with other plant-based protein sources, creating nutritionally complete blends.

Rice protein powder is also used in the feed sector as a source of easily digestible protein in mixtures for livestock, poultry, fish and pet food. Thanks to its digestibility and mild taste, it supports the proper development and condition of animals.

Storage

Brown rice protein should be stored in a dry and cool place, at a temperature below 20°C and relative humidity below 60%, in its original, tightly closed packaging, away from chemicals and strong odours.
