About Rice puff

Rice puffs, also known as puffed rice, are light, airy grains made by heating rice under high pressure. Commonly found in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Western cuisines, they serve as a base in snacks like bhel puri or breakfast cereals. Their preparation involves minimal ingredients, retaining the natural essence of rice while becoming easy to digest. Low in calories and fat, rice puffs are a popular choice for weight-conscious individuals. They are gluten-free, making them suitable for those with dietary restrictions. However, they offer limited protein, fiber, and micronutrient content compared to whole grains, making them less nutrient-dense. Often paired with nuts, seeds, or fruits to enhance their nutritional profile, rice puffs are a versatile ingredient for healthy or indulgent recipes.
