About Cheese puffs

Cheese puffs are a light and crunchy snack made from cornmeal and coated with a cheese-flavored seasoning. Originating in the United States, they fall under the category of processed snacks and are a popular choice for casual munching. Typically, they are puffed through extrusion technology, creating their signature airy texture. Ingredients commonly include cornmeal, vegetable oil, cheese powder, artificial flavors, and preservatives. While cheese puffs are adored for their bold taste and satisfying crunch, they are often high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats, making them a less nutritious option for regular consumption. They contain minimal amounts of protein and fiber, offering little in terms of essential nutrients. Because of their low nutritional density, cheese puffs are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
