What it is
Rice squares are a processed food product made from puffed rice cereal. The puffed rice is typically formed into small, dense squares, often using a binder like syrup or sugar to hold them together.
Why it's used
Rice squares are often used as a base or component in snack mixes and cereal bars. They provide a crunchy texture and a neutral flavor that pairs well with other ingredients like chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit.
Health notes
Rice squares themselves are primarily a carbohydrate source. The health implications are generally related to the overall nutritional profile of the product they are part of, including added sugars and fats. Regulatory bodies like the FDA have not set specific limits for rice squares as a food ingredient, and they are generally considered safe as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Rice is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is also not typically present in plain rice squares, though cross-contamination can occur during processing.
