Rice cake, known as "tteok" in Korean cuisine, is a traditional delicacy made primarily from glutinous rice or non-glutinous rice flour, often steamed or pounded to achieve a chewy texture. Popular variations include savory rice cakes with ingredients like red beans or mugwort and sweet versions with honey or fruits. Tteok is a staple in Korean celebrations and holidays, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. Nutritionally, rice cakes are low in fat and cholesterol, making them a lighter snack option. They provide energy from carbohydrates but are relatively low in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins. Some versions can be high in sugar or sodium depending on preparation. Rice cakes are naturally gluten-free, appealing to those with gluten sensitivities. While best enjoyed in moderation, they are versatile, satisfying, and culturally rich additions to any diet.
