A unique source of antioxidants, fibre, minerals and vitamins, wheat is one of the most widely consumed cereal grains. In India, wheat and rice are two staple grains, and most households cook using at least either for their daily meals. The East and South of India are predominantly rice-eating regions, whereas the North, West and Centre have profound dishes holding immense nutritional value with wheat being the main component. While that’s a little low-down about closer home, wheat flour epitomises versatility worldwide; from baking to health foods—wheat is consumed in several metric tonnes across the globe.
Having said that, it’s not surprising that wheat is available easily with little to no importance given to its manufacturing process—thus diminishing its nutrition. The solution to this is sourcing your wheat from trusted manufacturers that ensure the following:
• Sourced directly from farmers
• Are verified manufacturers
• Abide by stringent quality checks, international standards and business ethics
• Follow ethical procedures
