Rice Cake FAQ
Rice cakes are often misunderstood and mishandled in a kitchen setting. They may appear simple, but their versatility can lead to a plethora of questions. One common mistake with rice cakes is eating them plain, when they are better as a base for other flavorful toppings. By adding healthy toppings like hummus, avocado, or even some light cream cheese, you can turn a bland rice cake into a tasty treat that is both satisfying and low in calories. Furthermore, different varieties of rice cakes have different textures and flavors, so experimenting with different brands and types can lead to better culinary outcomes. Another little known fact is that rice cakes can be used as a substitute in many snack recipes requiring bread or crackers.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does rice cake expire?
Rice cakes have a shelf life of about 7-14 days once the package is opened, although this can vary depending on the specific brand and variety. Unopened, they can last up to the expiration date printed on the package, which is typically several months. I wouldn’t recommend freezing rice cakes, as it can affect their texture making them hard and dry.
How do you tell if rice cake is bad?
Rice cakes are normally firm and crisp with a mild taste. The first sign they may have gone bad is softness, a noticeable change to their usually crunchy texture. This is probably due to moisture exposure. If they've truly gone bad, they might develop an off smell or taste. The best advice, if in doubt about their freshness, is to throw them out.
Tips for storing rice cake to extend shelf life
• Keep your rice cakes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. • After opening the package, transfer the remaining rice cakes to an air-tight container or zip-seal bag to keep them fresh longer. • Try to squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag before sealing it to help prevent staleness. • Keep them separated from foods with strong odors as rice cakes can absorb them. • Avoid freezing your rice cakes as it can alter the texture and taste.
