puffed corn
Airy popped maize
Puffed corn is corn kernels expanded by heat and pressure into light, airy pieces.
The process forces moisture inside the kernel to rapidly steam, causing it to inflate.
Puffed corn appears as a breakfast cereal, a snack food, or a base for treats like caramel corn.
It's crunchier and less dense than popcorn, which puffs by a different method.
