Organic Poha is made of de-husked and flattened rice grains. It acts as a compliment for a high protein, fibre diet. A very common breakfast ingredient, it is free from any kind of chemicals or polishing. Organic Poha is a great source of protein, calcium and iron. Apart from these, a bowl of Organic Poha contains dietary fibres, vitamin A & C and all the nutrients that are necessary for your body.

Regular white poha is washed in drinking water, strained and left to soak in its retained water for few minutes. Till the vegetable are prepared and sauted, in the meantime poha gets soaked to add to the seasonings.

But as the organic poha flakes are denser than the regular bleached poha available in stores, these need to be soaked in some water for longer time to get soft.
