Thai rice flour is an essential ingredient in many households because it’s versatile, easy to use, and makes delicious food. However, picking the right type of rice flour for each dish can affect how soft and tasty your food or desserts turn out. In this article, we’ll explore different types of Thai rice flour and give you some tips on how to choose the right one for your dishes.

Different Types of Thai Rice Flour and Their Uses

1. Rice Flour Made from finely milled white rice, rice flour has a white, powdery texture. When cooked, it becomes soft and forms a firm gel. It’s commonly used in Thai desserts like kanom krok and kanom chan. Fancy Carp offers three kinds of rice flour: Jasmine Rice Flour, Brown Jasmine Rice Flour, and Riceberry Rice Flour, each with unique features.
