Two ingredients: whole grain brown rice and a pinch of salt. This is about as clean as a packaged snack gets.

• No added sugar, refined oil, or artificial additives
• Very low calorie at about 35 per cake

Ingredients (2)

• Whole Grain Brown Rice (safe) — The whole grain keeps the bran and germ, so it carries fiber and minerals white rice loses. Puffed into a cake it digests fast, but it's a genuine whole food.
• Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
