Roti vs Rice: Dietitian tells which option is healthier for weight watchers and diabetics

When we eat food, some people like to eat roti or rice. Most people like to eat rice, but no less like roti. However, this is an age-old question – is rice better than roti, or vice versa? In an interview with HT Lifestyle, experts put an end to this debate. Roti has more nutrition than rice. Although both roti and rice are high in carbohydrates, roti has more fiber, not protein, but it has the same amount of protein as rice. These are the nutrients that are lacking especially in white rice.

The expert explained, “These are two nutrients that rice, especially white rice, provides in very small quantities. Moreover, even after eating a bowl full of rice, you feel hungry quickly because the starch in rice is very easy to digest. Also, rice is made up of simple carbohydrates. It is not fibrous. It is digested quickly and easily.”
