Puffed Rice Trivia If you're hanging out on a beach near Mumbai in India, make sure you try some Bhelpuri. It's a favourite local snack, made with puffed rice, chutney & spices. Perfect for getting your energy back after a morning's waterskiing. Puffed Rice made its début at the 1904 St Louis World's Fair. Its inventor, Alexander Anderson, shot it out of guns to publicise his new 'snack food'. Your can see one of his original rice puffing guns in the Goodhue County Historical Centre, if you're ever in Minnesota & have nothing better to do. (If you do see it, please send us a picture.) Wholegrain Every puff in this pack is made from one whole grain. We don't mash up our grains then re-shape them. That means they keep all their natural flavour & nutrition. So we don't have to 'fortify' them with artificial additives, because we don't process the good stuff out in the first place. Low Fat Brown rice is low in fat. After all, when did you last see a fat rice stalk? & the only other thing inside the pack is air, which is also low in fat. No Added Salt or Sugar We all know that many cereals have sugar & salt added to them. But did you know that some have more salt than a packet of crisps, & some have more sugar per serving than a jam doughnut? (We mention no names...) There's no sugar or salt added to this cereal, it's just good honest brown rice. Gluten Free If you're gluten intolerant, here's some good news: rice is one of the few grains that's gluten-free. & even if you're not, but you're regularly eating pasta, toast & sandwiches, then this will be a welcome break from all that wheat. What gets us up in the morning- We don't put artificial additives in our cereal. None. Ever. That means we have to get the very best ingredients to make it taste just right. So we lace up our boots & go & get them.- We select rice from farms in locations with perfect growing conditions. The closest place to the UK where you can grow rice really well is the Po Valley in northern Italy. So that's where we buy ours.- We don't use GM. Don't get us started about that stuff.- All our packaging minimises waste. We use recycled, recyclable materials wherever possible.- Of course, there are easier ways to make cereal. But then, easy things aren't really as much fun, are they?
