White flour chapati is a traditional Indian flatbread made from refined wheat flour (maida), water, and often a pinch of salt. Known for its soft texture and mild flavor, it’s a versatile staple in many South Asian cuisines, commonly paired with curries, lentils, or vegetables. Unlike whole wheat chapati, white flour chapati lacks the bran and germ, which are removed during processing, resulting in a finer flour but significantly reducing its fiber and nutrient content. While it provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content, the low fiber levels make it less filling and may cause blood sugar spikes for some individuals. It’s also lower in essential vitamins and minerals compared to whole wheat alternatives. As a result, white flour chapati should be consumed in moderation, particularly as part of a balanced diet that incorporates additional sources of fiber and nutrients.
