No, rice does not contain gluten. Gluten is a type of protein found in certain grains, including wheat, barley, and rye. Rice is a cereal grain that does not contain gluten, which makes it a suitable ingredient for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or a gluten allergy. There are many different types of rice, including white rice, brown rice, basmati rice, jasmine rice, and others, and they can all be enjoyed as part of a gluten-free diet. However, it's important to be mindful of cross-contamination, especially when eating rice that has been processed in a facility that also processes gluten-containing grains.
