Red Poha is nothing but flattened rice made from red rice. Red poha nutrition value is higher when compared to white rice flakes. In the recent times, red rice got much attention because of its health benefit properties. The red colour is due to the presence of a pigment called anthocyanin, which is also a flavonoid. Unlike white rice, red rice doesn't undergo excessive processing, so the other bran layer remains intact, which is rich in fibre, vitamin B and other minerals. Flattened rice, beaten rice, poha, atukulu, aval and avalakki are other beautiful names.
