Rice UP! Brown Rice Cakes with Chia & Quinoa 120g | All Natural | Extremely Crispy | Vegan | No Gluten | No GMO | No Preservatives | 26 kcal Per Side | 92.1% Wholegrain Brown Rice | Superfood Chia Seeds & Quinoa | كعك الأرز البني بالشيا والكينوا

What happens when you take the world's most nutritious wholegrain rice cake and elevate it with two of the planet's most celebrated superfoods? You get Rice UP! Brown Rice Cakes with Chia & Quinoa - the premium EU-produced snack that combines 92.1% popped wholegrain brown rice with 3% quinoa and 3% chia seeds to create a rice cake of extraordinary nutritional depth. At just 26 kcal per side - one of the lowest calorie snack measurements you will ever see on a food label - this is the rice cake that redefines what "eat smart" truly means. All natural. Extremely crispy. Vegan. No gluten. No GMO. No preservatives. And now supercharged with the omega-3 power of chia and the complete protein of quinoa.

Why Rice UP! Chia & Quinoa is the #1 Premium Superfood Brown Rice Cake in UAE

The Chia & Quinoa variant represents the most nutritionally advanced product in the Rice UP! range. While the Himalayan Salt variant delivers the pure, clean simplicity of wholegrain brown rice with premium mineral seasoning, the Chia & Quinoa variant adds two globally recognised superfoods to create a rice cake with a genuinely exceptional nutritional profile: 9.8g protein per 100g (the highest in the Rice UP! range), 3.9g fibre per 100g, 3.9g fat per 100g (primarily from the omega-3-rich chia seeds), and only 0.9g sugars per 100g. This is not a rice cake with a token sprinkle of chia seeds for marketing purposes - it is a genuinely superfood-enriched wholegrain snack with 3% chia seeds and 3% quinoa - meaningful, nutritionally significant quantities of both superfoods.

The "26 kcal Per Side" Claim - The Most Precise Calorie Statement in Snacking:

Rice UP! makes a uniquely precise calorie claim on the front of the Chia & Quinoa canister: 26 kcal per side. This refers to one side (face) of a single rice cake - half of one cake. This extraordinary precision reflects Rice UP!'s commitment to transparent, consumer-friendly nutrition communication and highlights just how low-calorie these rice cakes are:

• 26 kcal per side = approximately 52 kcal per whole cake
• 383 kcal per 100g - standard nutritional reference
• A 120g canister contains approximately 4-5 whole cakes at ~52 kcal each
• Even eating 2 whole cakes = approximately 104 kcal - an extraordinarily light snack
• The "per side" measurement encourages mindful, portion-aware eating

This level of calorie transparency is rare in the snack category and reflects Rice UP!'s genuine commitment to helping consumers "eat smart."

The Superfood Duo - Chia Seeds 3% & Quinoa 3%:

Chia Seeds (Salvia Hispanica) - The Omega-3 Powerhouse:

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are one of the most nutritionally dense foods known to science. Originally cultivated by the Aztecs and Mayans as a primary energy food, chia seeds have been validated by modern nutritional science as a genuine superfood. The 3% chia seed content in Rice UP! Brown Rice Cakes provides:

• Omega-3 ALA: Chia seeds are the richest plant source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) omega-3 fatty acids - containing approximately 17-18g of ALA per 100g. ALA is an essential fatty acid that the body cannot produce - it must come from diet. ALA supports cardiovascular health, brain function, and reduces inflammation
• Complete Protein: Chia seeds contain all 9 essential amino acids - one of the very few plant foods to do so. This contributes to the exceptional 9.8g protein per 100g in Rice UP! Chia & Quinoa
• Exceptional Fibre: Chia seeds contain approximately 34g of fibre per 100g - one of the highest fibre contents of any food. Both soluble fibre (which forms a gel in the digestive tract, slowing glucose absorption) and insoluble fibre (which supports bowel regularity)
• Calcium: Chia seeds contain more calcium per gram than dairy milk - approximately 631mg per 100g vs 120mg per 100ml in milk. Essential for bone health, particularly important for vegans
• Phosphorus: Critical for bone mineralisation and energy metabolism (ATP production)
• Manganese: Essential for bone formation, wound healing, and antioxidant enzyme function
• Antioxidants: Chia seeds contain quercetin, kaempferol, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid - powerful antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative damage
• Hydrophilic Properties: Chia seeds can absorb up to 12x their weight in water, forming a gel that slows digestion, promotes satiety, and supports hydration

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) - The Complete Protein Grain:

Quinoa is one of the most nutritionally complete plant foods ever discovered. Technically a seed (not a grain), quinoa is the only plant food that naturally contains all 9 essential amino acids in sufficient quantities to be classified as a complete protein - a distinction shared with animal proteins but extremely rare in the plant kingdom. The 3% quinoa content in Rice UP! Brown Rice Cakes provides:

• Complete Protein: All 9 essential amino acids - lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, and histidine. This is the primary reason quinoa is called a "superfood" - it provides the full amino acid profile that vegans and vegetarians often struggle to obtain from plant sources alone
• Lysine: The amino acid most commonly deficient in plant-based diets - quinoa is one of the richest plant sources of lysine, essential for protein synthesis, calcium absorption, and immune function
• Magnesium: Quinoa is an excellent source of magnesium - essential for over 300 enzymatic reactions, muscle function, and blood sugar regulation
• Iron: Quinoa provides non-haem iron - important for vegans and vegetarians who don't consume haem iron from meat
• Quercetin & Kaempferol: Quinoa contains high levels of these powerful antioxidant flavonoids - with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-cancer properties studied in multiple research contexts
• Lower Glycaemic Index: Quinoa has a GI of approximately 53 - lower than most grains, supporting stable blood sugar levels
• Gluten-Free: Despite being called a "grain," quinoa is naturally gluten-free - safe for celiac disease
• Saponins: Quinoa's natural saponin coating (removed during processing) has been studied for its cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory properties

The Triple Superfood Synergy - Brown Rice + Chia + Quinoa:

The combination of wholegrain brown rice (92.1%), chia seeds (3%), and quinoa (3%) creates a nutritional synergy that is greater than the sum of its parts:

• Complete Amino Acid Profile: Brown rice is low in lysine; quinoa and chia both provide lysine - together they create a more complete protein profile than any single ingredient alone
• Multiple Fibre Types: Brown rice bran provides insoluble fibre; chia provides both soluble (gel-forming) and insoluble fibre - a comprehensive fibre combination for digestive health
• Omega-3 + Antioxidants: Chia's omega-3 ALA is protected from oxidation by the antioxidants in quinoa (quercetin, kaempferol) and brown rice bran (gamma-oryzanol) - a natural preservation synergy
• Multiple Mineral Sources: Brown rice provides manganese and selenium; chia provides calcium and phosphorus; quinoa provides magnesium and iron - a comprehensive mineral matrix
• Textural Complexity: The visible chia seeds and quinoa create a more interesting, complex texture than plain brown rice cakes - the tiny seeds add a subtle crunch within the extreme crispiness of the rice cake

Taste & Sensory Experience:

Open the distinctive Rice UP! Chia & Quinoa canister - green band announcing the superfood combination - and the aroma is immediately more complex than a plain rice cake: the warm, nutty scent of wholegrain brown rice is enriched by the subtle, slightly earthy notes of chia seeds and the mild, clean fragrance of quinoa. Each cake is visually distinctive - the surface is studded with visible black and white chia seeds and tiny quinoa seeds, creating a more textured, complex appearance than plain rice cakes. The first bite delivers the signature Rice UP! extreme crispiness - that loud, clean, satisfying snap - but with an additional textural dimension: the tiny chia and quinoa seeds add a subtle secondary crunch within the main rice cake crunch. The flavour is more complex than the Himalayan Salt variant: the natural nuttiness of brown rice is complemented by the mild, slightly grassy notes of quinoa and the neutral, clean flavour of chia seeds, with the sea salt providing balanced seasoning. The overall experience is wholesome, satisfying, and genuinely nutritious - a snack that makes you feel good about every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q: What does "26 kcal per side" mean?
A: Each rice cake has two sides (faces). "26 kcal per side" means one face of one rice cake contains 26 calories - so one whole cake is approximately 52 calories. This is an extraordinarily precise and transparent calorie claim that reflects Rice UP!'s commitment to helping consumers eat smart and make informed portion decisions.

Q: Why is chia from Korea and rice/quinoa from Bulgaria and Greece?
A: Rice UP! sources each ingredient from its optimal growing region. Wholegrain brown rice and quinoa are sourced from Bulgaria and Greece - EU countries with established cultivation and strict EU food safety standards. Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are sourced from Korea, where premium chia cultivation produces high-quality seeds. This multi-origin sourcing reflects Rice UP!'s commitment to ingredient quality over geographic convenience.

Q: Are chia seeds and quinoa really superfoods?
A: Yes - both have earned the "superfood" designation through genuine nutritional science. Chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 ALA, contain more calcium per gram than dairy milk, and provide all 9 essential amino acids. Quinoa is one of only a handful of plant foods that naturally contains all 9 essential amino acids in sufficient quantities to be classified as a complete protein. Both are backed by extensive peer-reviewed nutritional research.

Q: How does the Chia & Quinoa variant compare to the Himalayan Salt variant?
A: The Chia & Quinoa variant has higher protein (9.8g vs 8.5g per 100g), higher fibre (3.9g vs 3.0g per 100g), more fat (3.9g vs 1.8g - from omega-3-rich chia), and lower calorie density (383 vs 459 kcal per 100g). The Himalayan Salt variant has premium mineral seasoning and a purer rice flavour. Both are excellent - choose Chia & Quinoa for maximum superfood nutrition; choose Himalayan Salt for premium mineral seasoning.

Q: Is quinoa gluten free?
A: Yes! Despite being called a "grain," quinoa is technically a seed (from the Chenopodium quinoa plant) and is naturally gluten-free. Combined with the naturally gluten-free brown rice and chia seeds, Rice UP! Chia & Quinoa is completely gluten-free - confirmed by the No Gluten claim on the front of pack.

Q: Can chia seeds help with weight loss?
A: Chia seeds support weight management through multiple mechanisms: their high fibre content (34g/100g) promotes satiety; their hydrophilic properties (absorbing up to 12x their weight in water) create a gel that slows digestion and prolongs fullness; their complete protein content supports muscle maintenance during calorie restriction; and their omega-3 content supports metabolic health. Combined with the 26 kcal per side calorie count, Rice UP! Chia & Quinoa is an excellent choice for weight management.

Q: What is Salvia hispanica?
A: Salvia hispanica is the scientific name for the chia plant - a flowering plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae), native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala. The seeds of Salvia hispanica are what we know as chia seeds. The name appears on the Rice UP! ingredient list as the botanical identification of the chia seeds used.
