Flat rice

Flat rice, also known as beaten rice or chiura, is rice that has been parboiled, flattened, and dried into thin, lightweight flakes. It’s commonly used in various cuisines for breakfast, snacks, or cooking. The flattened shape makes it quick to prepare, often by soaking or toasting. Flat rice retains the nutritional value of the original rice but has a different texture, offering a crunchier or softer experience depending on preparation. It’s popular in regions like India and Nepal and is appreciated for its versatility and ease of use in a variety of dishes.
