Embrace the nutritious heritage of Khapli wheat
Also known as Emmer wheat, Khapli wheat is an ancient, heritage grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years, primarily in regions of India like Maharashtra and Karnataka. Unlike modern wheat varieties, which have been heavily hybridized for higher yields, Khapli wheat retains its original, nutrient-dense profile and is often grown using traditional, sustainable farming practices.

Health benefits and nutritional superiority
Khapli wheat is valued for its distinctive health benefits, which set it apart from conventional wheat:

Lower glycemic index (GI): With a low GI (around 40–45), Khapli wheat releases glucose slowly into the bloodstream, which helps prevent blood sugar spikes. This makes it a suitable and highly recommended option for people managing diabetes.
Easier digestion: The gluten in Khapli wheat has a different, simpler genetic structure compared to modern wheat. This, combined with its high fiber content, makes it easier for many people with mild gluten sensitivities or digestive issues to digest. Note: Khapli wheat is not gluten-free and is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease.
Rich in nutrients: Khapli is a nutritional powerhouse, abundant in protein, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc.
Aids in weight management: The high protein and fiber content keeps you feeling full for longer, which can help regulate appetite and support healthy weight management.

Culinary uses and characteristics
With a unique, nutty flavor and a dense, rustic texture, Khapli wheat adds wholesome goodness to a variety of dishes.

Flavor profile: Khapli has an earthy, nutty flavor that is richer than that of regular wheat.
Versatility: It can be used to make softer rotis, breads, dosa, pancakes, and more. When ground into flour (atta), it is reddish-brown in color.
Cooking tips: When using Khapli flour for rotis, use warm water to knead the dough and let it rest for 10–15 minutes for a soft texture.

Storage and freshness
Like other whole grains, Khapli wheat should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and nutritional value.
