papel de arroz

Papel de arroz, or rice paper, is a thin, lightweight material traditionally made from rice starch, water, and sometimes other plant fibers. It has a delicate, slightly translucent quality and is commonly used in Asian cuisine for wrapping spring rolls, as well as in crafts like papermaking and decoration. Despite its name, it’s not made solely from rice but features a smooth texture that allows for easy folding and wrapping. Its versatility, combined with its subtle taste and aesthetic appeal, makes it popular both in culinary applications and artistic projects.
