About Puffed rice
Puffed rice is a light and airy grain made by heating rice under high pressure, causing it to expand. Originating in South Asia, it plays a key role in many cuisines, particularly Indian, where it's used in dishes like bhel puri and jhalmuri. In its plain form, puffed rice is low in calories and fat, making it a popular snack option. It contains small amounts of essential nutrients like carbohydrates for energy and trace minerals. However, it lacks protein, fiber, and significant vitamins, so it’s best paired with more nutritious ingredients. Some commercial varieties may have added salt, sugar, or oils, so checking labels is important. Additionally, its light texture and low density can make it easy to overeat without feeling full. When enjoyed in moderation and complemented with other wholesome foods, puffed rice can fit well into a balanced diet.
