Organic Brown Rice Flour – Unga wa Mchele Lishe

Apollos Organic Brown Rice Flour (Unga wa Mchele Lishe) is a nutritious whole-grain flour made from brown rice. Because brown rice retains the bran and germ layers of the grain, brown rice flour provides dietary fibre and naturally occurring nutrients while offering a mild flavour that works well in both traditional and modern recipes.

It is also naturally gluten-free, making brown rice flour a useful alternative to wheat flour for people who avoid gluten. For people with coeliac disease or a medical need for strict gluten avoidance, however, a product should only be described as suitable if its gluten-free status and processing controls are verified.

Health & Nutritional Benefits

Brown rice flour can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet. Its dietary fibre supports normal digestion and bowel regularity, while whole-grain foods can help increase overall fibre intake. Brown rice also naturally provides nutrients such as manganese, magnesium and B vitamins, although the exact amounts will depend on the product and processing.

Because it is made from whole-grain brown rice, it can provide a more fibre-rich option than highly refined rice flour. The carbohydrates in brown rice flour also provide the body with energy for everyday activities.
