Rice Flour

Traditionally used in many Asian cuisines as a base for noodles and dumplings, rice flour can also be used to make cakes and crackers. To avoid a crumbly structure, it must be used in tandem with other non-wheat flours. When using it for baking purposes, it's best to find recipes that specifically call for rice flour because there is no universal replacement ratio for regular wheat flour. You can also use it as a thickening agent for soups and stews. Note: white and brown rice flour are not created equal. Brown rice flower is not only healthier but also has more flavor with a sweet nuttiness.
