What kind of food is this?
Flour made by finely grinding non-glutinous rice. Per 100g it has 356kcal and 81.9g of carbohydrates, adding energy mainly from starch.
Unlike wheat flour it forms no gluten, so dough holds together and feels different in texture.
In dog meals its role is less about adding concentrated nutrition and more about serving as a rice-based energy source for treats and doughs.
How to serve
Do not use it raw; cook it thoroughly by baking, steaming, or similar.

In food-energetics terms
In traditional food therapy, this is classified as 'neutral'—neither warming nor cooling the body.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
