Puffed Rice Cakes — photo 1

Rice cakes are discs of whole-grain brown rice puffed under heat and pressure, eaten as a light snack or in place of bread or crackers with toppings. A 20 g portion, two to three cakes depending on size, has about 77 kcal, mostly from starch, with under 2 g of protein and little fiber, plus about a third of the daily value of manganese. They are light and airy but not low in energy per gram: 100 g has about 390 kcal, similar to dry rice. Salted versions contain more sodium.
