About Brown rice cakes

Brown rice cakes are crisp, puffed snacks made from brown rice grains pressed together under high heat. Originating as a staple in Asian cuisines, they gained global popularity for their versatility and nutritional benefits. As a whole-grain food, they retain the nutritious bran and germ layers of brown rice, making them a fiber-rich, low-fat alternative to processed snacks. Brown rice cakes generally contain around 70 calories per serving, minimal fat, and provide small amounts of protein, magnesium, and B-vitamins, such as thiamin. As naturally gluten-free and low-calorie, they fit into a range of dietary lifestyles from weight management to gluten-free eating plans.

Health Benefits

• Contains magnesium (around 10–15% of the daily recommended intake per serving), which is important for muscle function and bone health.
• Provides B-vitamins like thiamin, essential for energy metabolism and maintaining healthy brain function.
