Rice Paper

Rice Paper is a thin, round wrapper made from rice (and sometimes tapioca) starch, widely used in Vietnamese and Southeast Asian cuisines for fresh spring rolls and summer rolls. It is typically light and flexible when moistened, prized for letting fillings shine while being naturally gluten-free. Nutritionally, Rice Paper is primarily a source of carbohydrates, providing about 72.3g per 100g, with only small amounts of protein and fiber and very little fat, so it contributes energy without much satiety or protein. Many commercial varieties are lightly processed and may be available in brown-rice versions that offer a bit more whole-grain character. Because it is mainly a refined rice product, it won’t add much in the way of filling fiber or protein on its own—pairing it with vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats will make a more balanced roll while keeping the wrapper’s light, neutral character.
