Puffed Wheat—10c These are the foods invented by Prof. An- derson, and this is his curious process: The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for sixty minutes in a heat of 550 degrees. That fierce heat turns the moisture in the grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre- mendous. Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice are sorry for those who You will know, for the first time, how good cereals can be made. You will see grains that are crisp and nut-like, puffed to cight times their natural size. You will see grains made four times as porous as bread—ready to melt in the mouth. You will see grains made digestible —with every starch granule exploded. And you will see foods that chil- dren like better than any foods you know. Puffed Rice—15¢ Then the guns are unsealed, and the steam explodes. Instantly every starch granule is blasted into a myriad particles. The kernels of grain are expanded eight times.
