Well prepared poha can indeed be tasty enough to be anyones favourite! nutrition wise, poha is chockfull of iron (20mg of iron in every 100 raw flakes). It is rich in carbohydrates and in fibre, low in gluten and is easy to digest. And its low on fat (except for the oil we use in making the poha dish). As it is not high on protein content, adding vegetables to the poha can improve on this aspect. I add peanuts and fresh green peas to the poha to make up for the low protein quotient.
