Ingredients: Organic Emmer Wheat Flour (Khapli Atta)

Emmer wheat, known as Khapli in India, is one of the oldest cultivated grains, dating back to 9700 BC. It is believed to be the ancestor of modern wheat. This ancient grain played a pivotal role in sustaining empires, from the Pharaohs of Egypt to the legions of Rome. India embraced Emmer during the flourishing Indus Valley Civilization. Its cultivation spread across the country, with particular prominence in southern Maharashtra, the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, and certain southern states. For millennia, Khapli has been a cherished staple, nourishing generations and adapting to the diverse Indian terroir.

Our Organic Khapli Wheat flour honours this enduring legacy, bringing the essence of this ancient grain to your table.
