About Rice flakes

Rice flakes are flattened pieces of rice, typically made by steaming or otherwise conditioning grains and pressing them into thin flakes. They are usually pale and dry, with a light, crisp texture before soaking or cooking. Depending on thickness and processing, they may soften quickly in liquid or remain more substantial when cooked.

They are used in breakfast foods, snacks, and cooked preparations. Rice flakes may be sold plain or with added ingredients, and thickness, parboiling, roasting, and other processing differ among products. They are a processed rice form, not the same as intact rice grains or rice flour.
