Puffed rice plays a special role in Hindu mythology. The story of Krishna and his brother Sudama shows that it doesn't matter how expensive or fancy something is - Krishna accepted the puffed rice with love. It just counts more , if it comes honestly and from the heart, instead of just money or luxury.

Puffed rice really became popular at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. They showed a machine that looked like a cannon and basically made rice pops - that's how the puffs came about. The whole thing was even celebrated as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' at the time. Pretty wild, right?
Did you know that peanuts have been cultivated over 3,500 years ago? The whole thing started in South America, especially in the area of today's Bolivia and Peru. The Spanish then brought them to Europe, and from there peanuts spread throughout the world. It's amazing how far they've come, isn't it?
Peanuts aren't nuts at all! Despite the name, peanuts are actually legumes, like lentils or beans. Many people are completely surprised when they hear this.

In medieval India, roasted black chickpeas were a real power food for warriors. Roasted Chana had a long shelf life, was super easy to transport and provided real energy - perfect for battles and long journeys.
Chickpeas, even roasted ones, have often been referred to as 'poor man's food' in many cultures. Why? Because they are super cheap and still full of nutrients. They were an important source of food, especially in times of famine. It's pretty amazing how much power there is in such a small pea, isn't it?"
