Cheese puffs are a popular snack made primarily from cornmeal, vegetable oil, and cheese or cheese-flavoring, which is often powdered. These light, airy treats are typically produced through a process called extrusion, where the cornmeal mixture is shaped and cooked under high pressure before being coated with a savory cheese seasoning. Originating in the United States, cheese puffs are now enjoyed worldwide as part of snacking culture. While they offer a satisfying crunch and bold flavor, they are primarily high in simple carbohydrates, fats, and sodium, often with little nutritional value. They provide minimal protein or fiber, but their calorie-dense nature makes them easy to overconsume. Cheese puffs are best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional indulgence rather than a nutritious food option, especially for those mindful of maintaining a balanced diet or reducing processed food intake.
