Flours
Indian flour (atta) holds immense cultural, culinary, and nutritional significance in Indian cuisine. It is a staple ingredient in nearly every Indian household and forms the foundation of many traditional dishes.In many regions, making fresh rotis daily is a sacred and traditional practice, symbolizing warmth and hospitality.
Indian flours are packed with essential nutrients:
- Whole wheat atta is rich in fiber, aiding digestion and promoting heart health.
- Gram flour (besan) is high in protein, making it a great choice for vegetarians.
- Ragi and millet flours are loaded with calcium and iron, beneficial for bone health.
- Maida, while commonly used, lacks fiber and nutrients due to its refined nature, making it less healthy.
