About Puffs

Puffs are light, airy snacks made from grains like rice, corn, or wheat, often puffed using heat and pressure. Originating from modern food processing techniques, these snacks span a variety of cuisines and are popular worldwide for their crispy texture and convenience. Puffs are typically low in calories and fat, making them a less heavy option compared to fried snacks. However, they can be high in sodium and contain artificial flavorings depending on the brand and seasoning. Fortified puffs may offer added nutrients like vitamins and minerals, but their overall nutritional value is highly dependent on the ingredients used. Whole-grain or minimally seasoned versions are considered healthier, providing fiber and less processed content. While they are a quick and satisfying option for snacking, moderation is key to balancing their benefits and avoiding excessive intake of additives.
