How people cook with it
Rice cakes are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from a quick snack to a base for more elaborate creations.
- Toasted with avocado
- Topped with peanut butter
- Used as a base for dips
- Crumbled into yogurt
Simply take a rice cake from the package and add your preferred toppings. For a savory snack, spread cream cheese and smoked salmon or hummus and cucumber slices. For a sweeter treat, try almond butter and banana or a drizzle of honey. They can also be broken into pieces and added to a cheese board or served alongside soups and salads for added crunch. Their neutral flavor makes them a blank canvas for your culinary imagination.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to puffed rice cakes, whole grain rice cakes have a denser texture and a more pronounced, earthy flavor from the brown rice. They tend to be more substantial and satisfying, offering a chewier bite than their lighter counterparts.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining rice cakes in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent them from becoming stale or soft.
