There’s no simple answer to the question, “is rice gluten free?”. The simplest answer is yes, rice is naturally gluten free. But wait! In theory, yes, all types of natural rice are gluten free, including brown rice, jasmine, red, wild, and basmati. However, some may have cross-contact contamination. And processed rice products often contain wheat or other gluten-containing ingredients in sauces, spice blends, and as a filler.
