Red Poha is made of Red Rice, which is par-boiled and then flattened to carry a red shade from a pigment called anthocyanin. As we know red rice is less processed than white rice, thus it is rich in fibre and retains more vitamins and minerals.
Here are six reasons, that will help you to opt for it in your regular diet.
1️⃣ Red poha is an easily available crunchy snack, traditionally found in the majority of homes in India. We've been using it right from childhood, which fulfils all cravings so it is also recommended as an ideal weight loss diet meal.
2️⃣ Red poha tastes better and also helps you to get rid of the digestion problems that come with eating wheat. It is light on the stomach and easy to digest.
3️⃣ Red poha is full of antioxidants, vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, calcium, and iron which is why it is very good for building immunity and bone health.
4️⃣ Red poha is low in calories and high in fibre, it provides the necessary carbohydrates for the body while being a low-calorie meal and snack option.
5️⃣ Red poha is a probiotic because the rice goes through a slight fermentation process after par-boiling and flattening. Thus, red poha contains a probiotic quality that is good for gut health.
6️⃣ In medicinal diets, a higher fibre count contributes to the controlled release of sugar into the bloodstream. So, red poha is a good alternative for managing diabetes.
