Rice bites are small, snackable pieces typically made from rice, a staple grain originating from Asia and widely consumed in cuisines worldwide, including Japanese, Indian, and Chinese. Depending on preparation, rice bites may be made from white or brown rice, puffed rice, or mixed with vegetables and seasonings. Rice is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and brown rice retains its bran layer, offering additional fiber, B vitamins, and trace minerals like magnesium and selenium. Typically, plain rice bites are low in fat and protein but can include added nutrients or variations depending on additional ingredients used during preparation.
