Rice milk is a grain-based dairy alternative typically produced by pressing parboiled rice through a mill and using enzymes to convert starches into sugars.
Because the production process breaks down rice starches into simpler sugars, rice milk typically has a higher glycemic index (a measure of how quickly food raises blood sugar) than other plant milks.
It is naturally free from common allergens like soy, nuts, and gluten, making it a frequent choice for individuals with multiple food sensitivities.
Compared to cow's milk or soy alternatives, rice milk is naturally very low in protein, which may affect its ability to provide lasting fullness when consumed alone.
