Rotimatic vs Store-Bought Rotis: What is Better for Your Family?

Health is the new trend that is here to stay!

As people become more conscious of what they consume, many are switching from frozen foods to homemade, healthy meals. However, with health comes added kitchen responsibilities—making meals and then cleaning up. In fact, statistics say that while 50% of Americans try to incorporate healthy eating into their busy schedules, 23% of them hesitate to make it a daily habit due to the inconvenience of meal preparation and cooking, preventing them from healthy eating.

But, what if we tell you that you don’t have to choose between convenience and health anymore and that you can eat healthy without sacrificing convenience?

For Indian families, rotis are a staple. However, making rotis can be inconvenient. Bring store-bought frozen rotis to the scene, and you are sorted for weeks. But those are not the best choices when it comes to health and quality. This is where Rotimatic comes into play!

The debate about whether investing in equipment like Rotimatic is worth the health and quality benefits has been ongoing for years. Today, we’ll help you decide which side you should take — Rotimatic or store-bought rotis.

Rotimatic vs. Store-Bought Rotis

1. Health Benefits

• Rotimatic

  • Customize Your Flour

    Homemade rotis offer undeniable health benefits! One key advantage over store-bought rotis lies in ingredient control. When you prepare rotis at home, you have complete control over the ingredients to suit your needs.

    For instance, wheat-based rotis contain gluten, which can be problematic for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. These conditions make digesting gluten difficult and can cause more harm than good. With Rotimatic, you can adjust your ingredient list, replacing wheat with alternatives such as ragi, bajra, rice, or other gluten-free flour. This flexibility allows you to customize rotis to meet dietary requirements, enabling healthier and more personalized choices.

  • Adjust the Oil Levels

    Adjusting the type and amount of oil used with Rotimatic enhances its health benefits.

    Firstly, with homemade rotis, you can eliminate your main worry—“What kind of oil is being used?” Secondly, you can control the quantity of oil to use while making the rotis, and even choose your choice oil. So, whether you prefer groundnut, sunflower, or cottonseed oil, pick whatever you feel like!

  • Hot and Fresh Rotis on Your Plate, Always!

    With Rotimatic, you never have to worry about feeding your family reheated or defrosted rotis anymore. Instead, enjoy piping-hot, freshly made rotis customized to your choice of flour and oil, catering to your family’s unique health and taste preferences. Additionally, you ditch the uncertainty of store-bought options since you make the rotis yourself, minus the hassle of manual preparation.

• Store-Bought Rotis

  • Filled with Additives and Preservatives

    Store-bought rotis are often packed with preservatives and additives to maintain their softness and extend shelf life. Despite being marketed as “healthy,” many contain preservatives to ensure longevity. While occasional consumption may be acceptable, the presence of high sodium, artificial dough conditioners, and emulsifiers can lead to health concerns over time.

  • Lack of Freshness

    Another major problem that comes with regularly eating store-bought rotis is their compromised freshness. After baking, they are frozen immediately to prevent spoilage and must remain frozen to maintain quality. This process affects their freshness by the time they reach your plate.

    While occasional consumption of store-bought rotis is acceptable, relying on them long-term compromises nutritional value.

2. Cost

At first glance, purchasing a Rotimatic may seem expensive. In contrast, store-bought rotis appear cheaper due to lower upfront costs. But if you analyze carefully, Rotimatic is an investment that is worth making as it eliminates recurring monthly expenses.

With a one-time purchase of Rotimatic, you save on the ongoing costs of store-bought rotis. This reduction in monthly expenses can be significant, particularly for larger families.

3. Convenience

Talking about convenience, making homemade rotis adds the effort and time required to make rotis. For example, you have to prep the dough and knead it to perfection. As opposed to this, store-bought rotis are easy to make and there’s no post-cleaning required after dinner.

However, Rotimatic offers a perfect middle ground. It delivers the benefits of homemade rotis without the inconvenience of traditional preparation. Rotimatic can knead the dough and quickly make fresh, hot, and round rotis with the press of one button! Additionally, there is no post-cooking mess, saving you time and effort.

If you're a busy professional, a single parent juggling meal plan, or part of a big family where rotis disappear as fast as you make them, Rotimatic is here to save the day. It takes the hassle out of the process, giving you back precious time while ensuring every roti is perfectly made without skimping on quality.

4. Quality and Taste

Here’s where you cannot deny that store-bought rotis fail to compete completely! Loaded with additives and preservatives to extend their shelf life, they do not taste soft or what we call “homely” enough to be truly enjoyed. Over time, they may develop a rubbery texture or stale taste and smell, leaving you longing for something fresher.

In contrast to this, Rotimatic gives you soft, fresh, and piping-hot rotis straight out of the kitchen to your plate with the added authentic softness and flavor of traditional homemade versions.

So, Which is Better: Rotimatic Rotis or Store-Bought Ones?

While store-bought rotis may look convenient from afar, they are not healthy in the long run and even add up to your monthly expenses. Rotimatic, as opposed, maybe a huge initial investment to make, you are served with loaded health benefits without compromising on the quality and taste!

Ultimately, the choice is yours: preservative-laden store-bought rotis or freshly made, healthy, homemade rotis you can enjoy with peace of mind.
