About Maize puffs
Maize Puffs are crunchy, bite-sized snacks made primarily from cornmeal, a staple ingredient originating from cuisines rooted in the Americas. Lightly puffed through a high-heat cooking process, they offer a satisfying texture and mild flavor. Maize Puffs are typically seasoned with salt or spices, making them versatile for a variety of taste preferences. As a source of quick carbs, they provide energy without feeling heavy, but they are often low in fiber and protein. While generally free from cholesterol and artificial additives, many varieties can contain added sugars, excessive sodium, or flavor enhancers, so it's important to check labels carefully. Gluten-free by nature, they may appeal to those with dietary restrictions. Maize Puffs are best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a staple, especially when paired with nutrient-rich accompaniments like fresh veggies or dips to balance their nutritional profile.
