Questions about Puffed rice
How is puffed rice made?
Rice is heated under pressure and then released rapidly, so steam expands the grains into crisp, airy pieces. Some methods puff the rice with hot sand or in a heated drum.
Do you need to cook puffed rice before eating it?
No. It is ready to eat straight from the packet; cooking it usually makes it lose its crisp texture.
How do you keep puffed rice crisp?
Seal it in an airtight container as soon as you open the packet and keep it in a cool, dry cupboard. Once mixed with milk, yoghurt or chutney, eat it promptly before it softens.
What can you make with puffed rice?
Mix it with chopped onion, tomato, coriander, chutney and sev for bhel puri, or combine it with melted chocolate for crisp chocolate bars. It also works as a crunchy topping for yoghurt or porridge.
Can you make puffed rice crisp again if it has gone stale?
Spread it in a single layer on a baking tray and warm it in an oven at about 150 °C for 5–10 minutes, watching closely so it does not brown. Let it cool fully before sealing it in an airtight container.
Is puffed rice the same as puffed rice breakfast cereal?
Not necessarily: plain puffed rice is usually just puffed grains, while breakfast cereal may be sweetened, salted or fortified. Check the ingredient list if you want plain rice without added ingredients.
Is puffed rice suitable for people avoiding gluten?
Rice is naturally gluten-free, but puffed rice can be made or packed alongside gluten-containing grains. If you need to avoid gluten strictly, choose a product labelled gluten-free.
