What it is

The true origin of the product is unknown. Some people think that puffed rice is an Indian delicacy, while others claim that it is a traditional Thai snack.

The only thing that can be said for sure is that rice, when properly processed, is a dietary dish that is included in various diets during gastrointestinal diseases.

The process of making rice paddy at home will not take much time, but it will require some skill. Despite the fact that cooking it is very simple, if the basic rules are not followed, the dish can be easily ruined.

Of course, you can buy a product in any supermarket, but in this case you cannot be sure of its quality. After all, everyone knows that manufacturers love to add different sweeteners to enhance the taste, which can negatively affect health.

A home-made product is obtained as “pure” and useful as possible. Plus, it has more pronounced taste.

You can verify this yourself by comparing these two products.

But before starting to consider the issue of how to make popped rice, we will figure out how it can be useful or harmful to the body.

It is important to know that not only desserts and various sweets can be made from popped rice. It also makes dietary bread, which is recommended for people with diabetes to be included in the diet.

Great for dieters. The product is non-nutritive and can replace bread.

There are only 350 kcal per 100 grams. In this case, we are talking about clean, not seasoned with syrup or caramel rice.

The main useful properties:

Good effect on intestinal function due to the content of coarse fibers.
It is quickly acquired.
Gluten free. And this means that people with its intolerance can safely use rice air grains. Great for polyvalent allergy sufferers.
The nutritious product contains complex carbohydrates that give a boost of energy for the whole day, without overloading the gastrointestinal tract.

It removes toxins and heavy metals from the body.
The composition includes amino acids that regulate the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.
It positively affects the functioning of the nervous system, as it contains a large amount of vitamin B.
Contains lecithin, which productively affects the functioning of the brain.
It is very useful for lactating women, as it enhances the flow of milk in the lactation period.

Despite the fact that the product is useful for allergy sufferers and diabetics, it is not worth consuming it in large quantities.

For whom rice can be dangerous:

For people with bloating, chronic constipation and colitis.
It is undesirable to use for those who are prone to the formation of stones in the gall bladder and kidneys.
May be dangerous for men. Specialists argue that eating large quantities of popped rice can weaken potency.

It is important to understand that, basically, the harm of rice depends on how much to consume and how to cook it. If this is a diet dish, then do not water it with various syrups.

Cooking secrets

Consider how to make rice airy and friable.

There are many technologies, but in this case we will describe the most common, which has already become classic.

To do this, you need vegetable oil and round polished rice. Take the quantity of products at your own discretion. It all depends on how many people you count on.

We start cooking:

1. Boil rice. The process should take no more than 25 minutes. Rice should boil a little, but not stick together.

2. Then discard in a colander so that the glass is all excess fluid.

3. Dry the rice with paper towels. Grains must be completely dry before being sent to the oven or microwave.

4. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and pour rice in one layer.

5. Send rice to a preheated oven to 100 degrees. After 10 minutes, lower the temperature to 80 degrees and let it dry from one and a half to two hours. This is necessary so that the grains become dry and dehydrated.

6. At the next stage, we start frying. To do this, pour oil into a pan or stewpan and heat at maximum temperature. There should be enough oil so that the balls of rice in it float.

7. Roll up small rice balls and send to the pan. After a minute, they can be pulled out with a slotted spoon, as rice begins to swell almost immediately.

Spread on a paper towel that absorbs excess oil.

All - balloons are ready. Serve them with caramel or roll in fine salt, and can be consumed without any additives instead of bread.

Instruction manual

It will take you about two hours to cook. But this despite the fact that puffed rice will be ready.

Put the marshmallows and butter in the container. Melt in a water bath or in a microwave for half a minute. After we get out and mix both melted ingredients. The procedure is repeated two more times. After that, both ingredients should fully combine.

Pour rice into the prepared mixture and mix well.

We take any forms and pour the workpiece into them. On top, align everything with a spatula and send it for a couple of hours to the refrigerator.

After we get it and release it from the molds. You can decorate to your taste. It can be berries, chocolate or marshmallows.
