About Puffed millet
Puffed millet is millet grain expanded by heat, pressure, or a similar process. The resulting pieces are usually small, light, and crisp, with a mild, grain-like flavour. Individual products can differ in grain variety, degree of expansion, and whether the grain has been toasted or otherwise processed.
It is eaten as a ready-to-use cereal or added for a crisp texture to other foods. Puffed millet may be sold plain or as part of a sweetened or seasoned cereal product; the plain grain form should not be conflated with a formulated cereal containing additional ingredients.
