About Flattened rice
Flattened rice, known as Poha in India, is made by parboiling rice and then rolling it flat into thin, light flakes. A staple in South Asian cuisine, it’s commonly used as a base for savory breakfasts or snacks, often paired with spices, vegetables, and peanuts. Nutritionally, flattened rice is low in fat and a good source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy. It also contains small amounts of iron and vitamin B1, especially when enriched. However, due to its processing, it has a lower fiber content compared to whole grains, which may make it less filling. When prepared with nutrient-rich ingredients like vegetables and nuts, Poha can offer a balanced dish. Lightweight and quick to cook, it’s a versatile and accessible choice for many households while reflecting the simplicity and richness of Indian culinary traditions.
