It is also known as Red Rice Poha or Aval, which are flattened flakes made from Kerala Matta rice.
It consists of parboiled and flattened grains of Matta rice, known for its distinctive reddish-brown color, robust earthy flavor, and coarser texture compared to white rice flakes.
Matta rice flakes are valued for their nutritional benefits, being a source of fiber and having a lower glycemic index than white rice, and for their ability to provide a satisfying, wholesome meal.
Preparation usually involves soaking the flakes briefly and then cooking them with spices and other ingredients, similar to white poha but often retaining a slightly firmer bite.
The product comes in a pack with a net weight of 500 g, providing a generous quantity suitable for multiple meals or recipes.
