Household Ingredients Compared › Naan and Roti Prata (Singapore)

Naan and roti prata: what's actually in them?

Naan and roti prata (paratha) are both wheat flatbreads, but they are built differently. Naan is a leavened bread — flour, water, yeast, oil and salt, with garlic and herbs in the flavoured version. Roti prata is a layered, unleavened flatbread — flour, water and vegetable margarine (palm oil), with sugar and baking powder, folded into many layers so it fries up flaky. This page keeps them separate, and keeps plain, garlic and onion variants as separate rows.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed where a source states it.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the sortable table are as sold, per 100g or per 100ml, as printed by the source. Click a column header to sort low to high; click again for high to low. Cells marked "not stated" always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. No per-100g nutrition panel was verified for any naan or paratha in this pass; the table is all not stated rather than filled from another variant.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sucrose, sugar, glucose syrup, maltitol) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk, fructose in fruit).

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.

How to read a label — the jargon, in plain English

E422 (glycerol): An emulsifier and humectant used as a food conditioner in packaged flatbread.
E282 (calcium propionate): A preservative that keeps packaged bread from moulding.
E471 / E475: Emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids; polyglycerol esters of fatty acids) used in the paratha margarine.
Paratha / roti prata: A layered South Asian flatbread, folded many times with fat between the layers so it fries up flaky; in Singapore it is usually called roti prata.
Naan: A leavened flatbread, traditionally baked in a tandoor; packaged naan is yeast-leavened and baked, then packed.
