About Puffed corn cakes

Puffed corn cakes are a light, crunchy snack made primarily from cornmeal or puffed corn. Originating as a modern twist on traditional rice cakes, they cater to diverse palates and are popular in global cuisines, especially in health-conscious and gluten-free diets. These cakes are typically low in calories and free of gluten, making them a favored choice for those watching their weight or avoiding wheat-based products. They are often minimally processed, containing basic ingredients like corn, salt, and sometimes a touch of oil. However, flavored varieties may include added sugars or artificial additives, which can reduce their overall health benefits. Rich in fiber and naturally low in fat, unsalted or plain versions can be an excellent alternative to heavier snacks. Pair them with protein-rich toppings like nut butter or avocado to balance their carbohydrate content and create a more wholesome option.
