Puffed rice snacks are light, crunchy treats made by heating rice kernels under high pressure, causing them to expand. Popular in South Asian cuisines, they are a staple in dishes like bhel puri or enjoyed as a simple snack across various cultures. These snacks are naturally low in calories and fat, making them a guilt-free option for those seeking a healthier alternative to fried items. While plain puffed rice contains essential carbohydrates for quick energy, it is low in protein, fiber, and other nutrients, which may limit its ability to keep you full for long. Some varieties may include added flavors, sugars, or salts, so reading labels is key to selecting a wholesome option. Pairing puffed rice with nutrient-rich ingredients, such as fresh vegetables, nuts, or spices, can enhance its overall nutritional value and make it a more balanced snack choice.
