Puffed rice is made by heating rice kernels under high pressure until they pop. The process involves steaming the rice, then rapidly drying and heating it in a machine called a puffing gun. The sudden release of pressure causes the rice kernels to puff up, creating the light and crunchy texture of puffed rice.
When rice is puffed, its starches are gelatinized into a glassy matrix structure, creating air pockets within the grain. The chemical structure of puffed rice remains primarily composed of carbohydrates (starches) with a low moisture content due to the puffing process.

Puffed rice cereals are not GF, they often contain barley or malt for flavoring.
Bear in mind that there is already a puffed rice product on the market, called Rice Krispies, which is made by Kellogg's, and has excellent distribution and is available pretty much everywhere. If you want to sell puffed rice, you would be competing with this established product. That could be difficult.

To make puffed rice at home, you can start by heating a pot with a small amount of oil. Once the oil is hot, add a small amount of rice grains and cover the pot with a lid. The rice will puff up as it heats, creating puffed rice. Be careful not to burn the rice, and you can season it with salt or other flavors if desired.
