About Rice cracker mix

Rice cracker mix is a popular snack originating from East Asian cuisines, often made from a combination of glutinous rice flour, soy sauce, nori (seaweed), or sesame seeds, and baked or fried to produce a crisp texture. These snacks are low in calories and fat, making them a lighter alternative to other snack options. Typically, they are rich in carbohydrates from the rice base and may include trace amounts of protein and fiber depending on the added ingredients. Rice cracker mixes are commonly seasoned with spices, wasabi, or sweet coatings, making them versatile and flavorful.

Health Benefits

• Rice crackers are low in fat, making them suitable for low-fat diets and a healthier snacking alternative (approximately 1-2 grams of fat per serving depending on the mix).
• They are a good source of fast-digesting carbohydrates, providing a quick energy boost, which is particularly beneficial for athletes post-exercise.
• When seaweed (nori) or sesame seeds are included in the mix, the crackers offer additional minerals like iodine (important for thyroid function) or calcium and magnesium (for bone health).

Suitable for: Vegetarian, dairy-free

Not suitable for: Gluten-free (unless explicitly labeled), soy-free

Selection and Storage
