Rice flakes
Rolled or flattened rice with no fermentation — a plain grain option that tends to be easy to tolerate.
Rice flakes are made by steaming and rolling rice flat — a straightforward process with no fermentation or aging.
-
No histamine-forming steps — like most plain rice products, the processing doesn't introduce or accumulate histamine
-
Versatile and plain — often used like oats in porridge or baking, they work well as a substitute for those who also react to oats
Freshly opened packs tend to be the most reliable, as with most grain products.
