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.
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.
