Something you can make with Rice Chex cereal
Origin
Rice Chex cereal is a brand of cereal that is made from rice. It was first introduced in 1950 by the Ralston Purina Company, which is now a part of General Mills. The cereal was created as a gluten-free alternative to wheat-based cereals. The rice used in Rice Chex cereal is typically sourced from various rice-growing regions around the world, including the United States, Thailand, India, and China. The rice is processed and transformed into the distinctive square-shaped Chex pieces through a combination of cooking, drying, and toasting. Rice Chex cereal has since become a popular breakfast option and ingredient in various recipes, known for its light and crispy texture.
