Rice Cakes
Rice cakes require you use to use puffed rice, which is very difficult to achieve. In addition to that, many recipes have you deep fry them to create the puffed effect, which takes away all their nutritional value. Instead, buy these at the store and save yourself a headache.
Yellow rice is traditional in many Latin-American dishes and is sold in bags that have ingredients to make it yellow without any additions. Well, making it at home only means adding turmeric and a few more spices to your regular white, so don’t waste your money and make it at home!
Another product of rice is rice flour. Although this is a great alternative for gluten-free folks, it is actually pretty difficult to make it at home. Unlike other gluten-free alternatives, you can’t just throw rice into a high-speed blender or food processor and have flour. You actually need to buy a grain mill to get a fine enough product to use.
