About Popped rice

Popped rice, a popular snack across various Asian cuisines, is made by exposing rice grains to high heat and pressure or by dry-roasting them. Originating in ancient agricultural cultures, it is a staple in countries like India, Thailand, and Korea, often used in snacks, cereals, and desserts. Nutritionally, popped rice retains many of the properties of regular rice, being naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free. It serves as a light, gluten-free option that is easy to digest and is often fortified with vitamins and minerals. While it offers fast energy through carbohydrates, it lacks fiber and protein unless paired with nutrient-rich toppings or mix-ins. Typically low in calories, popped rice is considered a healthier alternative to fried snacks, though some preparations may include added sugars or flavorings that reduce its overall nutritional value.
