Rice cakes are lightweight, crispy snacks made primarily from puffed rice pressed together into a firm, round shape. Originating from Asian cuisines, particularly Korean and Japanese dishes, modern rice cakes are now popular worldwide as a low-calorie alternative to bread or crackers. Typically containing minimal ingredients like whole-grain rice and salt, they are naturally gluten-free and low in fat. Rice cakes can be a good source of quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, and when made with whole grains, they retain more fiber and nutrients. However, they rank high on the glycemic index, which means they can cause a quick spike in blood sugar levels. To boost nutritional value, pair them with protein-rich spreads or healthy fats like avocado. Versatile and convenient, rice cakes are a favorite choice for snacking or as a base for nutritious toppings.
