About Rice cake caramel

Rice cake caramel is a snack food made by combining puffed rice cakes with a caramel topping, resulting in a light and crispy treat with sweet overtones. Originating from various global cuisines, particularly prevalent in American and Asian markets, it has grown in popularity as a convenient snack option. Rice cakes generally offer a low-calorie base and are primarily composed of carbohydrates, while the addition of caramel adds a concentrated sugar content. A standard caramel-coated rice cake typically provides around 50-70 calories per cake, with minimal protein or fat, and lacks significant amounts of vitamins or minerals.

Health Benefits

• Low in fat, making it a suitable choice for individuals monitoring fat intake.
• Provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content, essential for physical activity or quick blood sugar replenishment.
• The puffed rice base is naturally gluten-free, accommodating those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk, soy

Suitable for: Vegetarian, gluten-free (if no cross-contamination)

Not suitable for: Vegan (due to potential dairy in caramel), low-sugar diets (high sugar content in caramel)

Selection and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place and keep sealed to maintain crispness. Exposure to humidity can cause the rice cakes to become stale.
