Who knows me, knows I love rice in every form and every dish.Probably because I was born in Vercelli.Vercelli  (North of Italy near Turin)is considered as the Italian capital of rice, especially risotto, due to the fact of being the epicenter of rice production not only in Italy, but also in the entire European continent. Vercelli began cultivating rice in the 15th century and the territory is blanketed in rice paddies. Nowadays, this area is associated with the excellence of its rice due to a gret tradition, combined with advanced manufacturing technology and a cultivation of 100 different types of rice!

For this reason for my birthday I received a collection of rice products and rice in different colors.

Therefore I started using more rice flour, too. Without even thinking of all the advantages of this flour. First of all perfect for  those who need gluten free.
