20 Wheat Atta in India Ranked from Worst to Best

Introduction

The video introduces the topic of atta, a type of wheat flour commonly used in India, and discusses the different brands available in the market.

Brands of Atta

  • A majority of Indians eat atta on a daily basis.
  • Different brands of atta are available in the Indian market, including Aashirwaad, Fortune, Patanjali, MP Sharbati atta, organic or multigrain options, and local chakki atta.
  • Reports have been conducted to determine which brand is the best.

Research Methodology

The video explains how research was conducted to determine which brand of atta is the best.

Research Process

  • The creator bought and analyzed ingredients and nutritional information from popular wheat flour brands.
  • Various food experts were consulted for their opinions.
  • Local flour mill owners were interviewed.
  • Wheat growing farmers were also consulted.

Categories of Atta

The video categorizes all available types of atta into five major categories based on research findings.

Category 1: Packaged Wheat Flour

  • Includes packaged wheat flour by Aashirwaad, Fortune, Pillsbury, Patanjali, Nature Fresh and Shakti Bhog.
  • FSSAI doesn't specify any requirement as to how much dietary fibre atta must have. So brands can actually mix a little maida and get away with it.
  • While buying atta you should check four things: what seed of wheat was used to make the atta? Were harmful pesticides like urea and DAP used? Is grinding done on fast chakki or slow? Is the atta fresh or not?
  • Wheat seed used is not traditional but a hybrid variant. Hybrid seeds increased production manifolds but experts believe that it is a major reason why diabetes and digestive problems have increased since the 1970s.
  • Pesticide residue was found in every atta brand when tested by an independent authority in an NABL-accredited lab.
  • The wheat flour in category 1 fails in almost every parameter and should be avoided.

Category 2: MP Sharbati Atta

  • Includes MP Sharbati atta by various brands like Aashirwad and Pillsbury.
  • Intensively marketed as superior atta because sharbati quality of wheat naturally absorbs more water making the rotis softer.
  • This so-called superior atta is also from a hybrid seed of 1960s.
  • Pesticides are used, grinding is not done on slow chakki, and it's not fresh.

Category 3: Multigrain Atta

  • Includes multigrain atta by Aashirwaad, Pillsbury, and 24 Mantra Organic’s 7 grain atta.
  • Multigrain atta does sound very healthy but it's far from the truth.

Category 4: Local Chakki Atta

  • Local chakki atta is made using traditional stone mills which grind the grains at a slow speed thus retaining all its nutrients.
  • It has no harmful pesticides or chemicals added to it.
  • It is fresh as it can be ground daily or weekly depending on your needs.

Category 5: Organic Atta

  • Organic atta is made from organically grown wheat without any use of pesticides or chemicals.
  • It has high fiber content and retains all its nutrients due to slow grinding process.
  • It may be expensive compared to other types of flour but worth investing for good health.

Conclusion

The video concludes with recommendations for the best type of atta to buy.

Recommendations

  • Local chakki atta and organic atta are the best options.
  • They are made using traditional methods, have no harmful pesticides or chemicals added to them, and retain all their nutrients due to slow grinding process.
  • Although they may be expensive compared to other types of flour, investing in good health is worth it.

Multigrain Atta

In this section, the speaker discusses different types of multigrain atta available in the market and their nutritional value.

Types of Multigrain Atta

  • Bengal gram flour is not a good option for multigrain atta.
  • Ayurveda recommends adding 1 or 2 same-season grains instead of too many grains in small quantities. The best way to use multigrain atta would be to make it at home by mixing wheat with other grains like barley, black chana, corn, jowar, mungbean, ragi and soya bean.
  • Organic whole wheat flour by brands like organic tattva, organic soul, 24 mantra, nature land and ph organic mp sharbati atta are better than regular ones as they are grown without harmful chemical fertilizers. However, they still do not use traditional wheat seeds.
  • Khapli whole wheat flour, Bansi whole wheat flour, Kathiya whole wheat flour,Lokwan whole wheat flour and Sona moti whole wheat flour are traditional wheat varieties that our forefathers had been eating for thousands of years without any digestive problems or diabetes. They have a low glycemic index and weak gluten molecule which makes them easy to assimilate.

Freshness Matters

In this section the speaker emphasizes on the importance of freshness when it comes to buying atta.

Importance of Freshness

  • Freshness matters when it comes to buying atta. It is recommended to buy only as much as you will consume in 1 month. According to Ayurveda, the older the wheat grain, the better it is for health.
  • If you cannot increase your budget but still want to buy good quality atta, search for a flour mill near you and ask the guy to grind the atta with bran. Although mostly these are not slow chakkis which is why atta does lose some micronutrients due to the heat generated.

Traditional Wheat Varieties

In this section, the speaker discusses traditional wheat varieties that are healthier than regular ones.

Traditional Wheat Varieties

  • Khapli whole wheat flour, Bansi whole wheat flour,Kathiya whole wheat flour,Lokwan whole wheat flour and Sona moti whole wheat flour are traditional wheat varieties that our forefathers had been eating for thousands of years without any digestive problems or diabetes. They have a low glycemic index and weak gluten molecule which makes them easy to assimilate.
  • These ancient wheat varieties are grown by very few farmers which thankfully are using ethical practices. This is why they are pricey but worth it if you want to avoid problems in future.
  • Look wise some do have slight differences although taste wise they are similar to regular wheat or even better. You can go for any of these as per your preference.

Making Multigrain Atta at Home

In this section, the speaker provides tips on how to make multigrain atta at home.

Making Multigrain Atta at Home

  • The best way to use multigrain atta would be to make it at home by mixing wheat with other grains like barley, black chana, corn, jowar, mungbean, ragi and soya bean.
  • You can add 100 grams of black chana and 100 grams of wheat bran in 1 kg wheat. In winter, you can add 100 grams of bajra and 100 grams of maize to 1 kg of wheat. So why waste money on these so-called multigrain flours when you can make healthier versions at a lower price.

The Best Atta for Health and Economy
