About Kutsinta rice cakes

Kutsinta is a traditional Filipino rice cake known for its chewy texture and caramel-like flavor. Made from a base of glutinous rice flour, brown sugar, and lye water, these steamed cakes are often topped with freshly grated coconut for added richness. A staple in Filipino cuisine, kutsinta is commonly enjoyed as a snack or dessert and pairs well with coffee or tea. Nutritionally, kutsinta is low in fat and provides a quick source of carbohydrates, making it an energy-boosting treat. However, it is relatively high in sugar, so moderation is key. The addition of grated coconut enhances its fiber content, contributing to digestion. As an authentic representation of Filipino culinary heritage, kutsinta offers a balance of cultural tradition and satisfying sweetness in every bite.
