Puffed Brown Rice is a great breakfast cereal alternative to oats and muesli that is naturally gluten-free, low in saturated fat and cholesterol. They are made by applying heat and pressure to the whole grain to make light rice puffs.
The culinary principle that best explains what puffed rice is that of popcorn; the rice grains are "dilated" by the effect of heat, just like popping corn. Fragrant and light, puffed rice was born in India in ancient times as an offering to the gods. Over time it has become a much loved and consumed ingredient all over the world.
Rice puffs can be enjoyed on it's own in a cereal bowl with your favourite plant-based milk or made into healthy snacks like the recipe below. Be sure to buy organic brown rice puffs that are 100% pure rice with no other ingredients added.
Rice puffs are also a popular alternative for those who wish to avoid wheat, oats, and gluten but still love their crunchy cereals in the morning or their cereal bar snacks in the afternoon.
