Poha is parboiled rice flattened into light, thin flakes. The flakes soften quickly when rinsed, turning tender with a slight chew and a gentle, nutty aroma. Cooks choose thin or thick grades for quick skillet dishes or snack mixes, and it is sold in white and red/brown rice varieties.
It developed across the Indian subcontinent and is common in Indian, Nepali, and Bangladeshi cuisines. Producers parboil, dry, and press rice between rollers, a method that spread alongside rice cultivation and trade in South Asia.
