Boiled and beaten poha has undergone fermentation and hence retains the microbial flora, which is healthy for the gut.
Poha is made up of 76.9% carbohydrates and about 23% fats. It has healthy carbs that provide energy to the body to carry out its daily functions.

Poha will usually never cause bloating and also keeps you full for longer. It is light on the stomach and can be easily digested.

The production of poha requires rice to pass through iron rollers. Flattened rice retains some iron from the process, and is hence considered to be rich in it.
One bowl of cooked vegetable poha has just 250 calories, along with a number of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants too due to the curry leaves in it.
