Description

Crispy rice cereal is an ingredient made from puffed and toasted rice, featuring a light and crispy texture. This cereal is commonly used in cooking to add volume, texture, and a crunchy touch to various preparations, from desserts such as energy bars and ice creams, to savory recipes like salads and breadings.

The origin of crispy rice cereal dates back to traditional rice puffing techniques, which became especially popular in Asian cuisine and later spread worldwide due to its versatility and ease of use.

Properties: It is a low-fat food and, depending on the process, can be a good source of fast-absorbing carbohydrates. Additionally, being low in sodium and gluten-free, it is suitable for special diets. Its airy texture helps create dishes with contrast and sensory variety.

In different Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, crispy rice cereal is also known as puffed rice, blown rice, or crispy rice. All these names refer to the same product, ideal for incorporating into recipes that seek a crunchy and light touch.
