For regular coffee get-togethers with several people, a plain pack is a practical starting point if you’re looking for a neutral rice cake. Compare the number of cakes or portions, ingredients, salt per 100 g and storage advice. Jumbo lists around 20 portions in its 130 g plain pack. A sweet or savoury variety can add a little choice, but check the nutritional information and allergens for that specific variety separately.
You’re looking for a plain pack to share at regular coffee get-togethers and want to know how long it will last. Jumbo lists around 20 portions for its 130 g plain rice cakes; also check how to store your chosen pack once it’s open.
You don’t want to rely on the word “plain” alone. For the packs reviewed, Jumbo and PLUS list less than 0.01 g and 0.28 g of salt per 100 g respectively. Check the values on the packaging of the product you buy.
You may want to offer a flavoured variety while taking your guests’ allergies into account. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. Check this information for every variety you choose.
First decide whether you need a regular, neutral option or a flavoured variety for a change. Then compare the packaging and nutritional information for the products you’re considering.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and storage | Compare the net weight, number of cakes or portions, and storage advice once opened. | If the tin needs to last for several afternoons, I want to estimate how much I need without leaving an opened pack for too long. Around 42% of consumers prioritise quantity and storage. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients, allergens and salt per 100 g on the packaging of the specific variety. | If guests need to watch what they eat, I want to know in advance what I can offer them. For roughly 33% of consumers, ingredients or allergen information comes first. |
| Variety of flavours | For a sweet or savoury variety, check the sugars, salt and allergens for the specific product too. | Sometimes I want to serve something different alongside plain rice cakes, without treating it as the same option. A variety of flavours comes first for around 25% of consumers. |
Jumbo also lists rice cake packs weighing 120–130 g in its multipack category. So the category name doesn’t tell you how many afternoons one pack will last.
Compare the net weight and, if stated, the number of cakes or portions before choosing several packs.
The Jumbo plain pack reviewed contains less than 0.01 g of salt per 100 g, the PLUS plain pack contains 0.28 g per 100 g, and the Snack a Jacks cheese variety contains 1.2 g per 100 g. These figures apply to individual products, not to every rice cake from those brands.
If salt content matters to your choice, compare the salt per 100 g on the packaging of the specific variety.
Ingredients and listed allergens can vary between flavoured and coated rice cakes. The product name alone isn’t a reliable way to check.
If anyone has an allergy, read the allergen information on the packaging before adding a variety to a shared tin.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives an average of 0.7 g of fibre for one large 15 g plain rice cake. This figure doesn’t apply to every rice cake or portion size.
Use the nutritional information for your chosen product if fibre is an important point of comparison.
Jumbo’s 130 g plain rice cakes provide a specific plain pack to compare by weight, portions and ingredients.
At Albert Heijn, you can compare rice cakes by pack and variety for your coffee tin.
PLUS’s 130 g plain rice cakes give you another plain pack to compare by ingredients and salt content.
Goud Gebakken sea salt rice cakes in a 130 g pack are a supermarket variety you can compare by number of cakes.

This order groups the products by their potential role in the coffee tin: first two plain packs, followed by a cheese variety for a change. It’s a curated comparison based on portions where listed, ingredients and salt content—not a ranking by an external publisher or a judgement on overall product quality.
| Position | Product | Specifications | Why it’s included | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jumbo Plain Rice Cakes 130 g | 130 g; around 20 portions; less than 0.01 g of salt per 100 g. | For this plain pack, Jumbo lists the number of portions and salt content—both useful when choosing a neutral option to keep in the tin. | Jumbo |
| 2 | PLUS Plain Rice Cakes 130 g | 130 g; rice, water and 0.3% sea salt; 0.28 g of salt per 100 g. | This plain pack from PLUS gives you a separate product to compare by ingredients and salt per 100 g. | PLUS |
| 3 | Snack a Jacks Cheese Rice Cakes 104 g | 104 g; 1.2 g of salt per 100 g. | This cheese variety listed at Joybuy is an option for a savoury change, rather than a neutral plain rice cake. Check the ingredients and allergens on the specific packaging. | Joybuy |
These three Joybuy products are sweet and savoury varieties for anyone who wants to offer a change alongside plain rice cakes. Check each variety’s packaging separately, especially if ingredients or allergens matter to your guests.

Check the allergen information on the packaging of every rice cake variety you plan to offer. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says this information must appear on the label of prepacked products. Don’t rely solely on the flavour name or an older pack.
Seal the pack well after opening and follow the storage advice on the label. For the Zonnatura plain rice cakes reviewed, Jumbo says to store them in a dry, cool place in a sealed pack.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives an average of 0.7 g of fibre for one large 15 g plain rice cake. Check the nutritional information for your product if the portion size or ingredients are different.
