About Bitten rice

Bitten Rice, often referred to as flattened or beaten rice, is a traditional staple in South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in India and Nepal. Made by parboiling rice grains and compressing them into thin, flaky pieces, this ingredient is versatile and used in dishes like poha, chiura, or sweet snacks. It retains essential nutrients like carbohydrates, minimal fat, and small amounts of protein, making it a light yet energy-giving food. Rich in iron and easy to digest, it is ideal for breakfast or as a quick snack. However, its nutritional value can vary based on preparation methods, with recipes involving frying or excessive sugar potentially adding unhealthy calories. Its ability to absorb flavors makes it a canvas for healthy additions like vegetables, nuts, and spices, promoting balanced eating. Bitten Rice is gluten-free and culturally cherished, bringing both nutrition and comfort to meals.
