Rice cakes

Rice cakes were a popular snack during the low-fat craze of the 1980s — but you may wonder whether you should still be eating them.

Made from puffed rice pressed together into a cake, rice cakes are often eaten as a low-calorie substitute for bread and crackers.

While flavored varieties are available, the most basic kind is made only from rice and sometimes salt. As to be expected, they don’t have much flavor on their own.
