About Puffcorn
Puffcorn is a light, airy snack made from cornmeal that is puffed through high heat or pressure. It typically has a texture similar to popcorn but lacks hulls or kernels, making it easier to chew. Commonly seasoned with flavors like cheese, butter, or sweet coatings, puffcorn is a popular snack in American cuisine, particularly in casual and party settings. Nutritionally, puffcorn is often high in sodium and fat due to added seasonings and oils, and it can be calorie-dense. While it offers a satisfying crunch and quick energy from carbohydrates, it provides little nutritional value, with minimal fiber, protein, or vitamins. Healthier variations may be baked instead of fried or lightly seasoned for reduced fat and sodium content. Puffcorn is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
