Varieties
Rice cakes may contain white or whole-grain rice, wild rice, corn, or other grains, and may be made with other ingredients, like cheese, sesame seeds, sea vegetables, spices, or honey. Besides the traditional round version, rice cakes are available in squares and small, bite-sized rounds. Low-sodium varieties are also available.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Spread whole-grain rice cakes with tuna salad or almond butter and honey, try them with spreadable soy cheese, or top with low-fat cheese and a slice of tomato, then broil for a fast open-face sandwich.
