About Puffed rice snack

Puffed rice snack is a light and crunchy treat made from rice grains that have been heated and expanded to create an airy texture. Originating from South Asian cuisines, it is often seasoned with spices, herbs, and other flavorful ingredients depending on the recipe. Commonly enjoyed in regions like India, this snack is a key component of dishes like bhel puri or eaten on its own for a quick bite. It is low in fat and calories, making it a healthier option for those craving a crispy snack. However, its nutritional value depends on preparation; added oils, sugars, or sodium in flavored varieties can diminish its health appeal. Puffed rice is also gluten-free, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. With its satisfying crunch and versatile flavor profile, it’s a popular choice for an energy-boosting snack in many parts of the world.
