Do you buy packets of idli and dosa flour? If you read this, you will never buy again!

As far as Tamil Nadu is concerned, Idli and dosa are the main staples of breakfast and dinner in most households. Like the time when we used to grind and cook flour at home, because it is more work, we buy and use packet flour which is easily available in stores. But we don’t know about some bad things in it.

Boric acid

Idli and dosa dough packets are fermented on the same day and boric acid is applied to prevent sour taste and to prevent the packet from getting salty due to fermentation.

Before the dough is added to the bag, the cover is coated with boric acid, which is used to heal ulcers.

Due to this, even if the dough ferments for a few days, it will not be visible on the outside.

Consequences

Buying and eating packet flour with boric acid can cause many health problems.

Especially the intestines will be affected. Problems like severe stomach pain and indigestion will occur

Add water

We do not know what kind of water is used to grind the flour in the places where packet flour is made.

I don’t know if it is pure water. They do not use clean water like grinding at home.

The consequences of that

When flour is milled with contaminated water it can cause severe physical harm.

Ecoli bacteria are especially prevalent in it.

This can cause chronic stomach pain, body dryness, diarrhoea, intestinal and gastric related diseases.
