About Murmura

Murmura, also known as puffed rice, is a light and airy grain commonly used in Indian cuisine. Originating in South Asia, it is made by heating rice under high pressure, causing it to expand. Murmura is low in calories and fat, making it a popular choice for healthy snacking and weight-conscious diets. It is rich in carbohydrates, providing quick energy, but lacks significant amounts of protein or fiber. Often used in snacks like bhel puri or as a base for breakfast cereals, murmura is gluten-free and easy to digest. While its low calorie content is a nutritional advantage, its minimal micronutrient profile requires pairing with nutrient-rich ingredients such as vegetables, nuts, or seeds to create a balanced meal. As it is sometimes flavored or fried in oil for taste, moderation and preparation method play key roles in determining its health benefits.
