puffed wheat
Airy breakfast cereal
Puffed wheat is a breakfast cereal made by heating wheat kernels under pressure until they expand into light, airy puffs.
The process creates a crisp texture that softens in milk.
Puffed wheat appears in cereals and snack bars, often sweetened or honey-coated: a bowl of puffed wheat with sliced bananas.
