Rice Krispies are a popular breakfast cereal and snack made primarily from crisped rice and sugar. Originally introduced by Kellogg's in 1928, the cereal's roots lie in American cuisine, gaining worldwide recognition for its signature snap, crackle, and pop sounds when milk is added. The cereal's simple ingredients include rice, sugar, salt, and a small amount of malt flavoring, along with added vitamins and minerals like iron and B vitamins. While Rice Krispies are naturally fat-free and low in calories, their nutritional profile is modest, offering limited fiber and protein. They are often used in homemade treats like Rice Krispies squares, which amplify sugar and butter content, making them less healthy. Despite its simplicity, it remains a convenient choice for a quick meal or snack, though pairing it with nutrient-rich foods like fresh fruit or yogurt is recommended to boost its nutritional value.
