Brown Rice

[sclark9602]

Isn't brown rice in anything a No No? I see brown rice in ingredients of foods that are suppose to be wheat free. I don't get it. Can someone explain this to me please?

Brown rice, in and of itself, plain brown rice is gluten-free.

It it's part of a rice mix, where other ingredients and flavors are added, you would need to check.

If the brown rice is used as an ingredient in a product, you would then need to check the gluten status of the product itself.

Brown rice and wheat are two completely different things.

Hope that clears it up for ya!

rice is gluten free. it's one of the easiest grains for us to find that's gluten free.

where did you get the information that brown rice had gluten?

Brown Rice is RICE, not wheat.

There is no wheat in brown rice.

Wild Rice has been the subject of lots of gluten rumors, even though it isn't really rice, is isn't wheat or barley either.

Both are inherently gluten free substances.

The only plants on earth that contain gluten are wheat, barley and rye. Oats are subject to cross contamination a lot, so are avoided by some Celiacs.

Brown rice is gluten free, as previously posted. I'm not sure where you heard this but it is perfectly safe.

However, some brown rice syrups are not gluten free...maybe this is what you heard or read??
