About Puffed wheat cereal

Puffed wheat cereal is a cereal made from wheat expanded or puffed by processing. The grain is identified, but the record does not state whether whole wheat or another wheat fraction is used, or whether the product is sweetened, salted, or otherwise formulated. Different products can vary in shape, size, and composition.

It is commonly encountered as light, crisp pieces for eating as cereal or incorporating into other foods. The pieces may be rounded or irregular, with a mild cereal flavour that can change with processing and additions. The catalogue wording does not establish a particular recipe, brand, or use beyond the broad cereal category.
