Grain and thyroid
Some millets are goitrogenic in large raw quantities. Cooked, and in rotation rather than daily, they are fine for most people.
Can I eat ragi roti every day with thyroid?
Daily is not a good idea. Great mineral and fibre profile but goitrogenic in heavy daily raw use. Keep it occasional — rotate with jowar rather than eating daily if hypothyroid.
What is the glycemic index of ragi roti?
Ragi Roti has a glycemic index of approximately 55, which puts it in the low range. At a typical serving of 1 katori / 1 piece, the glycemic load works out to about 17 — medium. Glycemic load is the more useful number, because it accounts for how much you actually eat.
