Sounds like it may be good, but is it?
(Hint: Does this rice cake look like a grain of rice to you?)
Puffed Rice is highly processed using high pressure and steam.
The heat-sensitive nutrients in the grain are destroyed and the protein molecules are altered.
There is nothing healthy about a rice cake. Empty. You will be hungry.
It is not a good vehicle for delivering nut butter. Try apple slices and nut butter instead.
