Jiva Organics Organic Poha Thick 2 Pound Bulk Bag - Flattened Rice

Bought this hoping to use it when I make homemade gluten free Muesli, which I roast all the ingredients for 5 to 10 minutes. Unfortunately this doesn't roast well, either straight from the bag or if it is cooked first, the Poha stays too hard. However, if you just take it from the bag and let it sit for 20 minutes in milk (of whatever sort you use) it softens right up. Add with the muesli and it is a tasty breakfast. I use dried and fresh fruits, but it would taste good without

This is a pretty large bag and will last awhile. I got this for making dosa batter. You could get this much cheaper at an Indian market if there is one near you but the price isn’t too bad if you are in a pinch. Product is good quality and organic and it was double packed very securely.

Relived my Indian experience cooking with this. Tasty.

First we had to pick out brown things that looked like little dead critters. I rinsed an unusual amount of starch or a starchy substance from the flattened rice, I followed to the tee, the directions I found on line at the company website. I am a good cook, at 71 I think I know what I'm doing. We tried to eat this as a side dish for dinner.and I ended up throwing it straight in the trash. I won't be wasting my time and money again. This stuff is definitely an acquired taste.

My daughter is allergic to just about everything including oats. I had read that Poha was a good substitute for oats when making a crisp or crumble dessert. Worked fabulous! To finish using it up, I included it in my Chex mix recipe and that worked as well. Nice crunch.

Has weird smell. Flavor is good.

This is good poha. I’m glad to find an organic option with a good price

This used be the best, it came in a vacuum sealed bag which was inside the outer label bag. Product was crunchy and tasted great. Then they did away with the vacuum seal but still had a heat sealed bag inside the label bag. Product was not as crunchy as before but tolerable. Today (7-18-25) when I received the product the heat seal was broken on the label bag and the product was directly packed in this bag, no extra layer. So it is hygienically not safe to consume with a hole in the bag directly exposing the product to the shipping process.This is it, the quality control has just gong downhill on this otherwise amazing brand and product, so sad.
