What it is
Puffed white rice is made from white rice grains that have been heated under pressure, causing them to expand or 'puff'. This process makes the rice lighter, crispier, and easier to digest.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use puffed rice for its light, crispy texture and mild flavor. It is often added to breakfast cereals, snack bars, and confectionery products to provide a satisfying crunch.
