About Puffed corn snacks

Puffed Corn Snacks are light, airy treats made from cornmeal that’s heated and pressurized to achieve a crisp, puffed texture. Originating from snack food innovations in the United States, these snacks are a popular choice worldwide for their mild flavor and satisfying crunch. Typically seasoned with salt or cheese, they may also contain oils, artificial flavorings, and preservatives, depending on the brand. While they are gluten-free and relatively low in calories compared to fried snacks, their nutritional value can be limited, often lacking fiber and protein. Some varieties are high in sodium and contain added sugars or saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. They are best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a staple, making them a convenient option for mindful snacking when paired with nutrient-dense foods like fresh vegetables or hummus.
