Rice Krispies is a popular breakfast cereal produced by Kellogg's. It was first introduced in the United States in 1928. The cereal is made of crisped rice, which crackles and pops when milk or other liquid is added. This unique characteristic has made Rice Krispies a favorite among children and adults alike.

The creation of Rice Krispies was a collaborative effort by William Keith Kellogg, his brother John Harvey Kellogg, and their team at the Kellogg Company. The cereal was initially marketed as a healthy and easy-to-digest breakfast option. Over the years, Rice Krispies has become a staple in many households around the world.
Production[edit | edit source]
The production process of Rice Krispies involves cooking, drying, and toasting rice grains. The grains are then expanded by exposing them to high pressure and temperature. This process gives the cereal its distinctive crispy texture and popping sound.
