Rice paper is a thin, translucent sheet made primarily from rice starch, water, and sometimes tapioca flour. Originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, it’s commonly used in dishes like fresh spring rolls and wraps. Rice paper is typically gluten-free and low in calories and fat, making it a light and versatile option for healthy meals. It provides small amounts of carbohydrates and negligible protein or fiber, so it doesn’t offer significant nutritional value on its own. One advantage is its ability to hold nutrient-rich fillings, such as vegetables, herbs, lean protein, or seafood, when used as a wrapper. While rice paper itself is generally considered healthy, recipes that involve frying or pairing it with high-sodium sauces may reduce its overall health benefits. Nonetheless, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a clean, simple base for light and refreshing dishes.
