Red Poha (Flattened Rice) – 1lb / 454g

Hoque Red Poha (also known as Red Aval, Red Chura, or Red Atukulu) is a wholesome and nutritious flattened rice made from the red rice grain. Unlike white poha, the red variant retains more of the outer bran layer, making it richer in dietary fiber, iron, and antioxidants (specifically anthocyanins, which give it its deep red color).

It is a fantastic choice for a quick, healthy, and satisfying meal. Its higher fiber content makes it beneficial for digestion, helps in weight management by keeping you full longer, and gives it a lower glycemic index, making it a better option for blood sugar control.

Uses:

• Traditional Poha: Prepare the classic Indian breakfast dish (Kanda Poha or Vegetable Poha)—just soak briefly and sauté with spices, vegetables, and peanuts.
• Upma: Use it as a base for a nutritious Red Poha Upma.
• Sweet Dishes: Perfect for making desserts like Aval Payasam (rice pudding) or Aval Kesari.
• Healthy Snack: Roast it with a little oil and spices for a crunchy, fiber-rich Chivda (snack mix).
• Net Weight: 1 lb (454 g)
• Note: Red Poha is generally thicker and coarser than white Poha and may require slightly longer soaking time (e.g., 10-15 minutes in warm water) before cooking.
