About Puffed rice jaggery ball

Puffed Rice Jaggery Ball, known as "Murir Moa" in Bengali cuisine, is a traditional Indian snack with roots in South Asia. Made from puffed rice (murmura) bound together with jaggery, this treat is both simple and nutritious. Jaggery, a natural sweetener derived from sugarcane or palm sap, is rich in iron, magnesium, and antioxidants, offering a healthier alternative to refined sugar. Puffed rice is light and low in calories, making this snack a guilt-free option for satisfying sweet cravings. Often prepared during festive occasions, it delivers a delightful crunch paired with earthy sweetness. However, the jaggery's high sugar content suggests moderation for those managing blood sugar levels. Free of artificial additives, this wholesome snack embodies the balance of taste and tradition while providing quick energy. It is cherished both for its cultural significance and its appeal as a healthy sweet treat.
