Roti is rich in nutrition like protein, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, phosphorus and B-vitamins. All these together help in balancing blood sugar, keeping the stomach full, controlling weight and increasing energy. This is the reason why people have started trying different types of flour.
If we talk about ragi and jowar, then slightly more fiber is found in ragi than jowar. One ragi roti contains about 3.1 grams of fiber, while one jowar roti contains about 1.4 grams. Fiber improves digestion and reduces intestinal inflammation, this is what makes both of them special.
If we compare Ragi with wheat, then Ragi is ahead in many respects. It is gluten-free, considered good for the heart and is also helpful in weight loss due to its heavy fiber content. Its nutrition also strengthens the digestion system.
Both jowar and wheat are good sources of fiber and help in keeping the stomach full for a longer period. The fiber present in jowar roti prevents overeating and also improves bowel movement. Many people consider it a better option than wheat bread for weight loss.
Wheat bread provides everyday flavor, but people who want to keep their weight or blood sugar under control can benefit from using millets like jowar, bajra or ragi. Millets provide energy to the body gradually, thereby reducing sugar spikes.
Some people do not like the dark color of ragi roti, but it is very strong in terms of nutrition. Despite this, if taste or color is a problem, it can be mixed with other flours to make it lighter and easier to eat.
For this reason, Mixed Millet Phulka has become a great option. In this, ragi, jowar, millet and wheat all come together to make a phulka which is beneficial for everyone from diabetic patients to weight loss people. Rich in antioxidants and fiber, this roti easily fits in the daily plate.
