Rice cakes are made from puffed rice pressed into a cake shape. The figures here describe plain, low-salt rice cakes. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 79g per 100g, alongside 5g of fibre and 7.4g of protein. Their salt content is 0.22g per 100g.
Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. For people watching their salt intake, the figures refer to the rice cakes alone; any toppings can add salt, as well as fat, sugar and energy. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 5 products). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Direct Laboratories, Nutrient analysis catch up project, 2003.
