About Chocolate rice cracker

Chocolate rice crackers are a snack combining chocolate coating with puffed or flattened rice crackers. Originating from Japan as part of senbei (traditional rice-based snacks), they have since become popular globally, offering a fusion of sweetness and crunch. These crackers typically provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content from rice and added sugars from chocolate. While not highly nutrient-dense, they may contain trace amounts of magnesium and iron from the cocoa. They are often low in protein and fats with higher carbohydrate content, making them a light snack option for energy replenishment.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to high carbohydrate content from rice and chocolate.
• May supply small amounts of magnesium, which supports muscle and nerve function, from cocoa in the chocolate.
• Contains iron in trace amounts from cocoa, contributing to oxygen transport in the body.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk, soy, gluten (if wheat is used in rice crackers)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets

Not suitable for: Vegan diets (due to milk in chocolate), gluten-free diets (if wheat or barley is used), individuals with soy or dairy allergies

Selection and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent chocolate from melting or the crackers from becoming stale.
