PASSION FOR POHA

Flattened Rice Delicacies

Poha is also known as flattened rice and is a wholesome meal as well it is not only a good source of carbohydrates but also packed with iron, rich in fiber, and a good source of antioxidants as well. However, it doesn’t contain any protein as such but we recommend adding a few peanuts while making Poha to balance the nutrient levels. Poha is also a gluten-free ingredient which makes it versatile in being used in kitchens and bakeries as well.

There are various thoughts by people when it comes to consuming Poha in our diets while some say that it does add in calories along with being rich in carbs and average in fiber, oats seem to be scoring slightly more on the protein score as compared to Poha. It is also recommended that those of us who are on a weight loss program may limit the consumption of Poha or take it once in a while for a change.

Poha is also said to be good probiotic food as well since these rice products are made after parboiling the paddy and in the sun drying it for a few hours before being beaten up or flattened to convert them into our Poha. If we speak about Indian breakfast menus we do have it all the time and it is widely consumed all over the country in a variety of recipes and modified versions as well.
