Due to the fact that it is the first grinding flour that is used for making chapatis in the recipe, almost many vitamins and all minerals are preserved in it, which are sifted out along with the bran and coarse fraction when preparing ordinary flour.
Of course, some of the vitamins from the milled grain decompose during heat treatment, but in any case more of them are preserved than in premium flour. Such flour contains many B vitamins, which normalize metabolism, vitamin PP and vitamin E, which are powerful antioxidants and maintain the normal condition of tissues, internal organs and skin. In addition, whole grain flour is high in fiber, which improves bowel function and protects the body from excess cholesterol. And this is the main guarantee of the health of the cardiovascular system and the prevention of atherosclerosis.
This benefit of chapatis has been known since the Middle Ages. The founder of the kingdom of the Great Mughals, Muhammad Babur, brought the recipe for chapatis from the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan, his homeland, to India, and despite the strong culinary traditions in this country, Indian chapati bread managed to squeeze even the famous Indian naan flatbread there.
Of course, you can’t buy Indian tortillas in our store, and cooking them at home for some may be too time consuming and tedious. But given the beneficial properties of chapatis, it is worth considering: maybe it is worth putting a little effort in order to make your diet healthier, thus maintaining your own health? So if you are looking for the healthiest bread, be sure to remember about chapatis …
