PUFFED RICE

PUFFED RICE-(Muri--in Bengali., Pori-- in Tamil.)

History

o        Puffed cereal has been around for more than 100 years. Puffed rice was introduced by Quaker at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. The puffed rice was shot out of eight bronze cannons over a large crowd.
The popularity for Quaker's puffed rice took off in 1913 when they began an advertising campaign that included the slogan "the grains that are shot from guns" which referred to the gun-puffing process.

Nutrition

o        Although puffed cereal can be tastier than flakes, a study in 2006, led by Francisco Morales, found that puffs aren't as healthy as flakes. The puffs were found to have more furosine, a chemical process caused by heat which reduces the amount of nutritionally available protein in the puffs. There wasn't any significant difference found between rice, wheat and corn.
