Enhance cereal formulations with extruded shapes and grains

Made from thoughtfully sourced ingredients, our extruded crisps offer a range of textures and functional benefits to support evolving cereal nutrition needs. 

PGP’s extruded crisps can be crafted into disks as well as flake-style or puffed shapes, ideal for creating textural variety in cereal and granola mixes. Our extrusion technology can create specific textures for cereal that provide structure and crunch, bringing excitement to every bite across multiple cereal formats. 

Create varied and contrasting textures or playful shapes for kids’ cereals with our flexible extruded ingredients. Extruded protein crisps for cereal also offer satiety support to breakfast blends. Ideal for high-protein offerings, these inclusions blend well with chewy oats, dried fruit and seeds for added crunch in cereals, mueslis and granolas.

Rice flours for cereal applications

In addition to extruded crisps, PGP specialty rice flours and pre-gelatinized flours can be used to enhance texture and taste in cereal and granola applications.

PGP rice flours are useful to give structure, texture balance, and processing performance. With a clean flavor profile and versatile granulations, rice flour helps improve processing consistency while supporting gluten-free and clean-label claims.

Pre-gelatinized rice flours can also be used in granola formulations as a clean label humectant. These pre-gelatinized rice flours can hold up to five times their weight in water, helping cereals stay moist, hold together better, and support lower-sugar formulations.
