Nowadays, talking about purity and nutrition, the packaged wheat flour found in the market has come under suspicion. On the one hand, while it is being used from house to house in terms of facility, on the other hand its disadvantages are now coming out slowly. Experts say that this flour, which is packed in mills and packed for months, is almost ‘hollow’ in the name of nutrition, and sometimes can prove to be a slow poison for health.

How is the loss?
1. Food is not made, only stuffing

The fresh ground flour in the house is rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. At the same time, wheat husk and germ (germ) are removed from it to store packaged flour for months – which are the sources of real nutrition. As a result, the dough remains only a source of carbohydrate, causing the sugar level to grow rapidly.

2. Danger of chemical adulteration

Many flour sold in the market add bleaching agents, anti-fungal powder and preservatives to increase its shelf life. These chemicals can cause long -term side effects on liver, kidney and digestive system.

3. Glycemic index is more

The glycemic index of packaged flour is comparatively high, which can increase the risk of diabetes and obesity. This dough is digested rapidly, causing hunger quickly and becomes a tendency to eat more.

4. Lack of fiber

It has very low fiber content, causing constipation, acidity and other stomach problems. At the same time, the fiber present in fresh ground flour in the house keeps digestion smooth.

What do experts say?

Dieticians and nutrition experts believe that regular intake of packets can affect the natural metabolism of the body. Consuming it for a long time can cause problems like swelling, fatigue and hormonal imbalance in the body.

How to identify real and adulterated dough?

Real dough color is a little brown and coarse

Ripe bread becomes hard a little quickly – it is a sign of nutrition

What is the solution?

Getting whole wheat and cleaning yourself is the best solution
