What You Should Know

You’d spot this on the cereal aisle or in your pantry as a light, no-fuss breakfast or crunchy snack—evoking a wholesome, slightly nostalgic vibe for simple mornings. The airy crispiness comes from industrial puffing of whole grain brown rice; because the grain is mechanically expanded and packaged (but lists no additives), it feels 'whole' but reflects processed rather than purely unaltered food.
