About Mochi bite

Mochi bites are small, chewy desserts made from glutinous rice, traditionally originating from Japan. Commonly enjoyed in East Asian cuisines, they are made by steaming sticky rice flour and shaping it into bite-sized portions. Mochi itself is often minimally sweetened and can be plain or filled with ingredients such as red bean paste, matcha, or ice cream. Nutritionally, mochi bites are primarily a source of carbohydrates (from the rice), providing quick energy. They have minimal protein and fat and are generally low in vitamins or minerals unless enriched with fillings or toppings like sesame seeds. Though tasty, they are calorie-dense due to their sticky rice content and occasionally sweet fillings, so portion control is advised.

Health Benefits

• Provides immediate energy due to its carbohydrate-rich composition.
• Low in saturated fat, which may support heart health when consumed in moderation.
• Glutinous rice contains small amounts of selenium, contributing to antioxidant functions.

Dietary Considerations
