Poha, also known as flattened rice, is a light and nutritious breakfast option popular in many Indian households. It is easy to digest and provides instant energy, making it ideal for a healthy start to the day.

Poha is rich in carbohydrates, iron, and some essential vitamins. It is especially good for people with iron deficiency (anemia) as it can be easily fortified with lemon juice (vitamin C) to enhance iron absorption.

Poha is gluten-free, heart-friendly, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels when eaten in moderation.
