Confectionery Rice

Confectionery rice, also known as puffed or crisped rice for baking, is a special type of pre-cooked or dried rice prepared for use in confectionery and dessert decoration. Its key characteristic is that it remains crispy after baking without becoming soggy, making it an ideal decorative element on cakes, cupcakes, chocolates and other sweets. It is most commonly white, but is also produced in various colours. In the kitchen it can be coated in chocolate or caramel and used as a component in pralines or bonbons. Unlike regular cooked rice, it retains its shape and texture for a long time, making it ideal for long-lasting confectionery products.
