In line with our recent story,
Rusks have become an integral part of our lives. We couple it with tea in the morning considering it's healthy or just because it's a habit.
Is it really healthy?
Rusk is often considered healthy as we are made to believe that it has lower calories.
But,
ғᴀᴄᴛ ᴄʜᴇᴄᴋ
🚨 When 100 g of rusk was compared with the cake it was found that rusk not only had greater calories but also greater sugar.
What's unhealthy about Rusk?
🚨The major component used in rusk is Maida.
Even if the packet says no maida to confuse the buyers, the composition still includes it. (check image 1)
🚨 Refined oil is used in their making which is very bad for our health. (check image 1)
🚨 How are these rusks remain fresh then?Packaged food is full of preservatives' which deteriorate our heart health. The packet you buy contains a lot of additives, artificial flavours, etc to keep the product fresh till opened! (Image 1)
🚨 Suji rusk is just another "branded health alternative" that's equally bad. Don't fall for the gimmics.
🚨 Just 3 rusks provide us 11 gm of sugar.
A good South Indian breakfast would be a great alternative to 3 rusks combined!
🚨 Also attaching terms like Gluten-free to rusks is yet another marketing technique that plays with the minds of innocent customers. Rusk, any Rusk - is just hardened bread with loads of sugar and preservatives. ( check image 2)
So, any health accompaniment with your favorite chai?
Let's switch to makhanas or roasted dry chanas or nuts in the morning to give priority to our health and also not worry about gaining extra kilos
