Roti is made of whole wheat flour and is full of dietary fiber, on the other hand, brown bread is partially made of refined flour (maida), which makes it unhealthy.

The considerable amounts of preservatives and added emulsifiers in bread increase their shelf life, but they are left with minimum nutrition to offer by the end.

Roti is made with whole grains which are filled with fibre, rich in carbohydrates, soluble fibre, and proteins.

The soluble fibre found in whole wheat are easy to digest for the body. They dissolve easily and pass through the intestines more easily than bread.

The brown bread that you get in the stores may not be made out of whole wheat flour completely. Instead, colouring agents may be added to give it a brown color.
