Rice Krispies are a classic breakfast cereal made from crisped rice and originated in the United States under the Kellogg's brand in 1928. These light, airy morsels are crafted by cooking rice and sugar, then toasting the mixture to create their signature crunch. While primarily known for their versatility in recipes like cereal bars, they are often enjoyed in their simplest form with milk. Nutritionally, Rice Krispies are low in fat and contain essential vitamins and minerals through fortification, such as iron and B vitamins. However, they are relatively low in fiber and protein, which may not provide lasting satiety. The cereal is also considered high in simple carbohydrates due to added sugar. As part of a balanced diet, they can serve as a quick, low-fat option, particularly when paired with nutrient-rich toppings like fresh fruit or nuts.
