Tag: Mochi cake

Traditional mochi, the rice cake component, is famously low in fat but high in carbohydrates; a 44g serving contains about 96 calories. However, whether mochi cakes are healthy largely depends on their overall preparation, including fillings and added sweeteners.

According to traditional recipes, mochi cake is naturally gluten-free due to its core ingredient, sweet glutinous rice flour. This means that for standard homemade preparations, mochi cake is safe for many on a gluten-free diet, but consumers of commercial products must exercise caution and read all labels thoroughly.
