Vitamins & minerals
Poha is a good source of manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin). It contains some vitamin A and vitamin C, but in smaller amounts.
How to choose
Choose poha that is light and fluffy, with a consistent color. Avoid packages with broken or crushed flakes. Look for a 'fortified' label if you want added vitamins and minerals. The thickness of the flakes can vary; thinner flakes cook faster. Consider the variety - some are thicker and more suitable for specific recipes.
How to store
Store poha in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place. Properly stored, it can last for several months. Once opened, transfer the poha to an airtight container immediately to prevent it from becoming stale and absorbing moisture. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods.
