Density 45 · +1 vs Snacks medianRice crackers land at 45 of 100, a Fair score that ranks 26th of 60 in the Snacks category, just above the median of 44. They post a surprisingly excellent 37% DV of magnesium alongside 20% DV of protein, numbers that stand out for a crunchy grain-based snack.
Rice crackers are typically eaten plain, dipped in hummus or guacamole, or used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat crackers, with one serving (30 g) as a reasonable portion. At 416 calories per 100 g they are calorie-dense for their size, so it is easy to eat past a single serving without noticing, and the 233 mg of sodium per 100 g adds up if paired with a salty dip.
