sauce thickener or as a binding agent in baked goods. Tepang Ketan or glutinous rice flour is known for its ability to withstand both refrigeration and
freezing with no breakdown of the product. The flour is powdery, white and unparalleled in absorption. The chewy, elastic quality of the dough made from Tepung Ketan makes it a popular base for the creation of
pastries and sweets throughout Asia, as it is able to withstand the heat and humidity common throughout the Southeast Asia and the bitter cold that can be found in the Northwest. As a
gluten-free flour, it is gaining popularity in the Western world, particularly for those who are required to maintain a wheat-free diet.

dough. The flour is created by crushing whole grains of rice and

ice cream. Additionally, while the flour is known for its ability to take up moisture, it is also well-known for its ability to retain it, making it a wise choice for products that need to be frozen and then thawed, as these processes generally result in an overall loss of moisture when products are made with traditional
flour.
