South Korea is promoting the use of powdered rice as an alternative to imported wheat flour in bakeries. This initiative aims to reduce rice surplus and reliance on imported wheat. Popular Korean bakery, Seongsimdang, has successfully integrated powdered rice into their 'strawberry siru' and plans to extend its use to other products like 'mango siru' later this year. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs is supporting 100 regional bakeries in developing new powdered rice-based items, showcasing their creations at the 'Bakery Fair' in Seoul. Powdered rice products are praised for their soft and chewy texture, and their ability to promote a comfortable digestion. The government is committed to expanding the demand for these products, emphasizing their advantages in the baking industry.
