Rice Cakes
Puffed rice pressed into rounds; light, airy, and naturally gluten-free. Mild in flavor and very low calorie on their own — designed to be a base for toppings.
Used for
- snacking base
- peanut butter platform
- avocado toast alternative
- low-calorie snacks
In the kitchen
- top
- spread
- layer
Picking it at the store
- Plain or lightly salted rice cakes are the most versatile — flavored varieties (cheddar, caramel) limit pairing options
- Keep in a sealed bag once opened; they go stale quickly when exposed to air
