About Puffed wheat
Puffed wheat is a type of breakfast cereal made by heating whole wheat grains under high pressure until they expand into light, airy pieces. Originating from Western food processing methods, this affordable and versatile grain has been enjoyed for over a century. Puffed wheat is typically low in fat and calories, making it a straightforward option for those seeking minimally processed foods. It retains some of the original nutrients found in whole wheat, such as fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals like manganese and phosphorus. However, plain puffed wheat lacks added sugars and preservatives, while flavored or sweetened versions may include additional ingredients that diminish nutritional benefits. Because it is low in protein and additional fiber compared to more nutrient-dense cereals, puffed wheat is best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal alongside protein sources, fruits, or dairy to enhance its overall health contribution.
