As we all know whole wheat flour is better than refined flour (maida) as refined flours full of empty calories and mostly all essential nutrients are removed from whole wheat flour during the process of refining. Is the same in case of makki flour? As I bought a makki flour packet ,on which its mentioned that it is refined. Does that mean that this is also full of empty calories with lesser nutrients like maida? Please clear this doubt of mine in detail, as I have researched a lot about it on internet.

Hi, Refined flour is when the outer most layer that is the bran which has maximum B-complex and nutrients is removed. Refined flour has only carbohydrate and calories and lacks all the nutrients so definately its not a good choice.
