I have a bag of poha, saying it is made of raw matta rice.

Anyone know, is this raw?

We don't have oatmeal that is gluten free where I live yet so this may be useful in some things....

"From western India, Poha, made from flattened rice, is an easy-to-cook, nutritious snack. It is often eaten for breakfast or brunch. Add extra zing to Poha by serving it with Mint-Coriander Chutney!" From about.com

also, in hawaii, a gooseberry, but I'm talking about the flattened dehydrated rice that can be subbed for oatmeal for gluten free people that can't find oats that are grown without wheat, or those that just like rice!

If you soak it, it is kinda like a cereal. It can be a good binder for cookies. I have no grain options where I live that are raw and gluten free.

I can get this.

Anyone know more on how they make it exactly? wikipedia is a stub.

To see if anyone know more now.

It's really cheap where I live. We don't have buckwheat here, and we are gluten free.
