Is aata healthier then maida? See details of the ques..?

Question

'Maida' is fine-wheat-flour and 'aata' is wheat flour slightly less finely grained than maida..Anyone knows if that makes a difference in digestion, absorbtion, bowel movement?

Answer 1

I think it has got to do with the fiber content, -particle size of the fiber. The larger size of the aata fiber particles allow for better digestion.
Over grinding of grain also results in a loss of the 'good' stuff in the grain.

Answer 2

aata is healthier than maida because it is less fine and is good for the stomach.it is not absorbed by the body as fat.
