Cream of rice, or rice flour-based instant breakfast cereal, is a processed grain product made from finely milled white or brown rice, often enriched with vitamins and minerals. It is characterized by a smooth, fine powder that dissolves quickly in hot liquid to create a creamy porridge-like consistency. The product is distinguished by its mild, neutral rice flavor and smooth mouthfeel when prepared, making it accessible to diverse palates and digestive systems. Commercial varieties are typically fortified with B vitamins (thiamine, niacin, riboflavin) and iron to compensate for nutrients lost in the milling and processing of the grain.

Cream of rice is primarily consumed as a warm breakfast cereal, prepared by whisking the powder into hot water or milk to achieve the desired consistency. It serves as a foundational breakfast dish in many households and is frequently recommended as an easily digestible option for infants, young children, and individuals with sensitive digestive systems. The neutral flavor profile makes it versatile for both sweet preparations (with honey, fruit, cinnamon) and savory applications (with broth, salt, and vegetables). It can also be incorporated into baked goods, smoothies, or used as a thickening agent in soups and sauces.
