Rice-based snacks are food items made primarily from rice, a staple grain in many cultures. These snacks can come in various forms, such as crispy rice cakes, puffed rice, or rice crackers. They are often enjoyed for their light texture and versatility, making them suitable for both sweet and savory flavors. These snacks are popular in many countries, including Japan, where rice crackers known as senbei are commonly consumed. In addition to being tasty, rice-based snacks are often gluten-free, appealing to those with dietary restrictions. They can be found in grocery stores and are frequently used as a base for toppings or dips.
