About Puffed rice cereal

Puffed rice cereal is a cereal made from rice that has been expanded or puffed by processing. The name identifies rice as the cereal source, but does not state whether the rice is whole or milled, or whether the cereal includes sweeteners, salt, or other ingredients. Products can vary in shape and formulation.

It is encountered as light, crisp pieces, eaten as a breakfast cereal or used as an ingredient in snacks and other foods. Its colour is often pale, while flavour and crunch depend on processing and any additions. The catalogue name does not specify a brand, recipe, or preparation method.
