Food Label for Rice Cakes: Pintola Wholegrain Brown Rice Cakes
Rice Cakes: Pintola Wholegrain Brown Rice CakesThese rice cakes are a simple, low-calorie snack made from organic wholegrain brown rice. They're gluten-free and high in fiber, which is a plus. However, they're also very high in carbohydrates (26g per serving) and low in protein (3g), so they won't keep you full for long. The sodium content is very low, which is good. Benefit: The high fiber content (2g per serving) can contribute to digestive health and help regulate blood sugar levels. Benefit: They are very low in fat, which can be helpful if you are watching your fat intake. Concern: Rice cakes are mostly carbs and can spike blood sugar if eaten alone. Pair with protein and healthy fats like avocado or nut butter to mitigate this. Concern: They are very calorie-dense (121 kcal per serving) for the amount of nutrition they provide. Alternative: Consider swapping for a nut-based snack bar or a handful of nuts and seeds for a more balanced snack with more protein and healthy fats. Look for options with minimal added sugars and a good fiber content.
