Puffed Rice Cereal, 6 oz Bag

ARROWHEAD MILLS PUFFED RICE CEREAL We rescued a Pit Bull mix from Hurricane Maria...DIEGO! He is the best dog who has ever owned us....he is gentle, loving, sweet, funny, quiet, and THE happiest dog in the world. He has been through a lot -- he was in PR before, during, and after Hurricane Maria, got on a rescue jet and flew to New Jersey and finally ended up in Ohio where we met him and added him to our home when he was only six months. Now he is three and everybody LOVES Diego. He is small and we try to control his weight. He LOVES to eat and has a deep focus on food. Our vet suggested giving him a one-half cup of puffed rice cereal mixed in with his kibble so he doesn't gain weight. He has to keep his manly figure! This satisfies his hunger while not adding weight and bulk to his physique. And...he loves it! He gets so excited when I get out the bag of puffed rice.

Very fresh and crispy as usual…

My husband said these taste like stale rice crispies, but I LOVE them for why I bought them. My son is 6 months old and his doctor said to start him on pick up foods so he can start working on those motor skills. The Go-To food for this are the "puffs" made by all the popular baby food companies, but ALL of them (even the organic heath nut ones) have added sugar. I'm trying to avoid my son having any added sugar until it's unavoidable because I don't want him to be a picky eater. Anyway, long story shot, I found a blog that suggested these, and when I saw that the ONLY ingredient was brown rice, I decided to give them a try. Almost $7 is a ridiculous price to pay for cereal, and if it was for me, I would pass. But to split up into little baggies for my infant, these will definitely stretch far! As for the taste, I think they taste fine, and so does my 6 month old. I've also read that you can coat them in yogurt, nut butter, fruit puree, etc. to give them a bit more flavor. But for right now, my son enjoys attempting to get these little suckers into his mouth (we sprinkle them on his high chair during meal times).

Compared to Quaker Puffed Rice, it's a bit more expensive, but local stores seem to be out of Quaker brand frequently. Taste is great, we just wish this was gluten free. With it being just rice, and Arrowhead Mills having other products that are gluten free, it would seem that this should be processed on those lines, not in the area with non-gluten free cereals.

Ok taste

i so miss my quaker rice puffs but these are kinda just the more ‘natural’ version and almost as delicious and at a great price.

I've tried the millet and the corn too and all are very good but I like the rice best. As another reviewer so helpfully mentioned, you can add crispness by nuking a bowl of the puffed grains for ten seconds or so. Mainly I eat this rice with a little olive oil and sea salt but it's good in so many other ways. It does dissolve quickly and completely so it's excellent for thickening up other foods, just mix in and let sit and something thin will become nice and thick. My diet allows for two and one half batches of whole grains, generally either quinoa or one of the Lundberg brown rice blends, per week. I can trade the one half batch (one half cup uncooked) for five cups of puffed rice and add some variety for about the same calories. Plus the puffed rice is always ready to eat for times when I'm in a hurry but out of prepared food.

I should have read the reviews. I have bought this brand in supermarkets for years and liked the taste. This is same brand and within expiration date on package, but tastes terrible. Plus expensive and non-returnable. Do not buy.
