1. Introduction to White Thick Poha
White Thick Poha, also known as flattened rice or beaten rice, is a staple in Indian kitchens. It’s prepared by parboiling rice, then flattening it into dry flakes. These flakes are then dried to remove moisture, making them lightweight and easy to store. The thicker variant of white poha retains more texture and body when cooked, making it ideal for hearty dishes like Kanda Poha, Batata Poha, and Chivda.
2. Origin and Cultural Importance
Poha has been a part of Indian diets for centuries. Originating from the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, it has transcended regional boundaries due to its versatility, ease of cooking, and nutritional value. In many homes, poha is the first solid food given to toddlers, indicating its place in daily nutrition. White Thick Poha holds a special place in festive snacks and is often used in fasting (vrat) recipes.
3. Processing and Hygiene
Our White Thick Poha (Loose Pack) undergoes a hygienic preparation process. It is made from selected rice grains, parboiled to preserve nutrition, flattened carefully to retain a uniform thickness, and then double-cleaned to remove dust and husk.
