What is puffed food? Is it harmful to your health?
Puffed food is a kind of snack food with crisp texture, vivid flavor and different styles, which is made of cereals, potatoes or beans by baking, frying, microwave or extrusion. Puffed food is harmless to the body, but it needs to be eaten in moderation. Eating too much puffed food will affect the intake of staple food.

The puffed food is mostly made of corn, wheat, whole wheat, oats, rice and other cereals, beans such as Dutch beans, red beans and chickpeas, and potatoes such as sweet potatoes and purple potatoes, with a certain proportion of seasonings and edible oil added. Puffed food gives coarse grains a delicate way to eat.

Puffed food gives people the impression of "five highs and one more": high in fat, high in calories, high in salt, high in sugar and high in monosodium glutamate.

With people's understanding of the harm of aluminum tableware, it is gradually replaced by stainless steel popcorn machine, and the pollution in production gradually disappears.

Children are in the stage of physical development, so we should pay more attention to a reasonable diet and balanced nutrition. If you eat a lot of puffed food before meals, it is easy to feel full and affect normal eating.
