Which roti is low in protein?

Published in Nutrition & Diet 1 min read

Wheat roti generally has a lower protein content compared to roti made from other grains or with added protein sources.

While "roti" refers to a type of flatbread, the protein content varies based on the flour used. Wheat roti, a common variety, is relatively lower in protein when compared to roti made with grains like quinoa, amaranth, or those fortified with ingredients like chickpea flour (besan) or soy flour.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Wheat Roti (plain): This is the standard roti and generally lower in protein compared to others.

  • Roti with added ingredients: Adding ingredients can significantly increase the protein content. Examples include:

    • Chickpea flour (Besan)
    • Soy Flour
    • Other protein-rich flours like amaranth or quinoa flour.

Therefore, if you're looking for a roti with a lower protein content, plain wheat roti would be your best option.
