Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which flour is best for managing blood sugar and diabetes?
Ancient whole-grain flours like Emmer (Khapli) wheat, Jowar (sorghum), and Bajra (pearl millet) have higher dietary fiber, lower glycemic index, and complex starch structures compared to modern hybridized dwarf wheat.
2. Can diabetic patients safely eat rotis every day?
Yes, when made from 100% whole unpolished grain flours (like Khapli or millet-blend flours), cooked with minimal fat, and consumed in proper sequence after fresh salads and dal/protein.
3. How does milling and processing affect flour's glycemic index?
Fine industrial milling ruptures starch granules, causing rapid enzymatic digestion and blood sugar spikes. Stone-ground (chakki) flour with intact coarse bran retains a lower glycemic response.
