How people cook with it
Rice cakes are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. They serve as a base for both sweet and savory toppings.
- Topped with avocado and seasoning
- Spread with peanut butter
- Used as a base for cream cheese
- Eaten plain as a light snack
To enjoy these rice cakes, simply take one out of the package and add your desired toppings. For a savory option, consider spreading a thin layer of cream cheese or mashed avocado and sprinkling with pepper or everything bagel seasoning. For a sweeter treat, peanut butter or almond butter works well, perhaps with a drizzle of honey. They can also be enjoyed on their own as a simple, crunchy snack when you need something light between meals. Their texture makes them a good vehicle for a variety of flavors.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining rice cakes in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage will prevent them from becoming stale or losing their satisfying crunch.
