The one problem with rice products is that they stick in your teeth. But, it tastes good, and is lightly but noticably sweetened. And, since we cannot have wheat, barley, oats or rye, having a selection of gluten-free cereals is a real blessing. Thanks, Amazon! Keep stocking it!
We have been buying this product in the store for my grand baby who is wheat sensitive, and found that my youngest daughter also likes it which comes in handy since she is autistic and is on a gluten free, dairy free diet. The fact that it is sugar free is just as nice because we are also trying to watch our kids sugar intake.
The ingredients are stated clearly in the product description (puffed, WHOLE GRAIN BROWN RICE... so it still has all the nutrition left in it rather than scoured off as in white rice) so there should be no confusion if you are a person who actually READS directions and ingredients... and the fact that it is about as pure a food as you can get in a plastic bag is a real big plus. There are enough cereals on the shelves covered in sugar and filled with ingredients that are not good for you or questionable at best.
This can be added to Arrowhead Mills Puffed Millet, 6-Ounce Units (Pack of 12) and/or Arrowhead Mills Puffed Kamut, 6-Ounce Units (Pack of 12) to make a Muesli. Kamut has gluten in it so don't add if you are on a Gluten Free diet. Add to dried fruits and nuts (raisins, currants, sunflower seed, coconut, etc) to make a trail mix for a healthy snack on the road.
It also makes a great finger food for babies as they are small enough to make them work on their fine motor skills, and they generally loose interest in eating it before they have eaten too much - remember, if you read the description it says it is NOT a low calorie food. You and your children can eat too much of anything even if it is supposed to be healthy!
I'm looking forward to ordering the case size and saving over grocery store prices...
