About Corn puffs
Corn puffs are a light, puffed snack made primarily from cornmeal or corn starch, often seasoned with salt or flavorings. Originating from 20th-century American snack food innovation, they are popular in numerous cuisines as a crunchy, savory treat. The production process involves extrusion, where corn is heated and pressurized to form its airy texture. Corn puffs are low in fat and generally cholesterol-free, making them appealing for calorie-conscious snacking. However, some varieties may be high in sodium and contain artificial flavors or additives. They are usually gluten-free, providing an option for those with gluten sensitivities. While they offer minimal fiber and protein, enriched versions may include certain vitamins and minerals. Moderation is key to enjoying corn puffs as a satisfying snack while maintaining overall dietary balance.
