Lentil Puff

Lentil puffs are a snack food made primarily from lentil flour. The flour is mixed with water and other ingredients, then extruded and puffed through heat and pressure. This process creates a light, airy, and crunchy texture.

Lentil puffs are used as a base for snack foods, offering a lighter and often more nutrient-dense alternative to traditional puffed snacks. They are frequently flavored with spices and seasonings and appear in products like chips, pretzels, and other snack mixes.

Lentil puffs are generally considered a food ingredient and not subject to specific FDA additive regulations. Lentils themselves are a good source of protein and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated lentil puffs as a distinct additive, but lentils are a common food ingredient. No significant health concerns are associated with their consumption at typical levels.
