Rice cakes snacksMed

Rice cakes made from brown rice and multiple grains are a popular light snack across various Indian households and urban markets. These are typically produced by puffing and compacting brown rice with other grains, resulting in a crisp and low-fat product enjoyed without added salt.

• Rich in manganese and phosphorus, these rice cakes contribute to mineral intake important for metabolic and bone health.
• They also provide significant amounts of selenium, niacin (vitamin B3), magnesium, copper, and zinc, forming a spectrum of micronutrients.
• Being low in fat and sugars, they fit well into balanced snacking habits across vegan and vegetarian diets.

They are commonly eaten alone or with toppings such as hummus, vegetables, or light spreads. As a packaged snack, they fall under ultra-processed foods in the NOVA classification but remain a clean label product without additives like salt or sugar.
