Information and interesting facts: What are rice flakes?
Nutritional values and calories: that's how healthy rice flakes are
Rice flakes have about 350 kcal, 7.5 g protein, 2 g fat and 75 g carbohydrates per 100 grams – similar to grainy milk rice. The carbs make the flakes naturally sweet.
In contrast to oats or wheat, rice flakes have one big advantage: They are gluten-free. And therefore they are suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
What is the difference between rice pudding flakes, rice flakes and rice pudding?
Rice pudding is short-grain, starchy rice that gives it an incredibly creamy consistency when cooked.
Rice flakes are made from cooked rice: The rice is being rolled, flattened and then dried in order to produce rice flakes.
In contrast, flakes made from rice pudding naturally taste a little sweeter as the rice variety itself has more sweet starch.
Whole grain congee is firm to the bite and grainy. Flakes, on the other hand, ensure a softer consistency and have more of a porridge consistency than firm rice pudding.
How you can use rice flakes
The mild, sweet taste makes rice flakes an all-rounder in the kitchen.
The flakes are particularly exciting for breakfast: in muesli, in porridge or as a quick rice pudding. They are great for thickening porridges and combining them with other types of grain, such as oatmeal.

However, if you prefer a hot breakfast, you should cook the flakes. It can be done in no time: simply boil with vegetable milk and let it soak for five minutes, that's it.
