Hello, all!
Rice Krispies will be launching a GF line in June,which I AM INCREDIBLY EXCITED ABOUT. I do not know if I have ever told you guys, but Rice Krispies were on of the products that bugged me most. Puffed rice cereal should be GF. So, when I saw that announcement, I was soooo happy!
I do wish that Kellogg's had just made the Original RK's GF, (like General Mill's did with corn chex), but I will take what I can get :).
Also, these GF ones will be made with brown rice. Why is that? Does anybody know? White rice is GF. It is not that I have a problem with brown rice, it just seems as if they might be able to get the most similar taste to the originals if they used white rice. Maybe it is because brown seems more "GF"? If so, that is super dumb.
At this point, it is unclear whether or not they will be certified GF, which would be my biggest issue, if they are not. I do not think I am comfortable eating a "GF" product that might not really be GF! It just seems unsafe to me.
What do you guys think?

I cannot wait either! Yummy! Your blog is great!
Thanks! I try ;)
Rice Krispies use brown rice in order to get the rice to 'pop' like popcorn.
If you used white rice, it would slowly turn into a very hard rock.
The whole (ie brown) rice forms steam within the hull and then pops open as a cooked puff of rice.
This is also used in making Japanese Gen Mai Cha,a green tea with rice.
