MUTTAI PORI- PUFFED RICE

Puffed rice is a healthy snack that is low in fat and calories, easy to digest, and a good source of carbohydrates for energy.

 However, it is low in nutrients and has a high glycemic index, meaning it can cause blood sugar spikes. 

For a healthier choice, eat plain puffed rice plain or mixed with vegetables and lentils, and be mindful of portion sizes, as processed versions can have added sugars and preservatives.
