Rice Bread

Rice bread is very versatile and tastes best toasted.

Rice breads are gluten-free, so they’re good substitutes for people with wheat allergies. They’re somewhat gritty and porous, but this characteristic can be overcome by toasting.

Varieties

Rice bread is available in white and brown rice varieties, and may contain nuts, seeds, and fruit juice sweeteners.

Buying and storing tips

Buy rice bread in the refrigerated- or frozen-foods section of natural food stores or supermarkets. Store in a plastic bag at room temperature, and use within a week.

Availability

Rice bread is available year-round.

Preparation, uses, and tips

Rice bread’s taste is greatly improved by toasting. Serve toasted rice bread with whole-fruit spread or honey, or top with mashed white beans, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped basil and diced tomatoes.
