Hare Krsna. > > your servant, > jayadeva dasa Anything not prepared directly by qualified devotees can't be offered to Lord Sri Krishna's Deities. Such grains if we have to eat then we usually say "Sri Visnu" three times and take it as some kind of maintenance requirement. Sometimes in India we by puffed rice, but then it is cooked with Ghee and tumaric is added. Gaura Nitai can accept this offering although even then the best thing is to have devotees also make the puffedr ris.. I hope that this finds you in good health.
