Mochi is a rice cake made out of sweet rice, which is very sticky rice. Eden's Mochi is made of sprouted brown rice, which is famous for its health benefit. The ingredients for this super tasty mochi is only sweet brown rice. It's fairly expensive, but it's pretty expensive anyways if you buy white mochi that is not too healthy but okay. It comes with the benefit of brown rice, such as Thiamin B1, Niacin B3, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, and Manganese. Very easy to make this super food by just put a cake on a sheet of aluminum foil in the oven toaster and bake it at 425F for about 5~7 minutes. When you see it's puffed up, then it's done! Take it out, wrap it with a sheet of Nori (seaweed sheet), and use soy sauce or Liquid Amino as the dipping sauce. It makes fast breakfast that is super nutritious! You could eat this super delicious Mochi with cinnamon & sugar, which makes it very healthy and tasty desert. I buy this using Amazon's subscription program and never let it run out in our household.

I love mochi but it's really a long, difficult process to make it from scratch. I usually buy brown rice mochi in the refrigerated section and it's very good. However, this doesn't need to be refrigerated so it can be stored in a cupboard until you want to use it. It says it must be refrigerated after opening but I never have any left over! It cooks up quickly to a puffy, chewy neutral sort of nutty flavor and you can dip it in jam or maple syrup as a desert, or dip it in salsa or guacamole or other dips for something more savory. They suggest on the carton to try grating it like cheese over vegetables which I will definitely try. This is truly a guilt free treat! It doesn't get much healthier than brown rice and this is a delicious way to enjoy it.

It's not easy to make Mochi at home from scratch. Mochi is a great substitute if you are trying to get away from sugary sweets. As others have mentioned it is a quick and easy breakfast wrapped in a sheet of Nori......very satisfying. As I age, I seem to be getting lazier, but do not want to sacrifice quality in my life. This is a simple to prepare food.....sushi too.
