Flattened rice, also known as beaten rice or poha, is a de-husked rice that is flattened into light, dry flakes. These flakes range in thickness from thin to thick and have a slightly chewy texture when rehydrated. Their flavor is mild and subtly nutty, making them a versatile ingredient for both savory and sweet dishes. Dry flattened rice has a pale white to light brown appearance and is readily available in Indian grocery stores. Looking for healthy and easy-to-prepare grain alternative? Poha is a fantastic choice!

Flattened rice should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will prevent it from becoming stale or absorbing odors. Properly stored, it can last for several months. For long-term storage, you can freeze it in a freezer-safe bag; bring to room temperature before using.
