Ancient grains deserve respect, not exaggeration. Khapli wheat supports better eating habits due to its fibre, protein, and mineral profile, but health outcomes still depend on overall diet, portions, and lifestyle choices.
From the fields of Maharashtra and Karnataka to grocery stores and conversations surrounding wellness, khapli wheat has continued to gain popularity. Moreover, it is often marketed as an ancient grain that can solve several modern lifestyle issues, including diabetes, poor digestion, weight gain, and fatigue. However, while many of these claims do have merit, others rely heavily on exaggerated marketing tactics. Aashirvaad Namma Chakki has brought 100% khapli flour into consumers’ kitchens worldwide, but it is imperative to have accurate expectations of what khapli has been shown to do and why. The purpose of this article is to clarify and dispel most of the misconceptions surrounding khapli wheat, if they exist at all.
Khapli wheat is highly nutritious, but it is not a "miracle" food. Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta supplies your body with necessary nutrition in the form of protein, fibre, iron, and Vitamin B1, which are all used for different aspects of energy production and digestion; however, simply eating them will not eliminate a particular disease that may be attributed to poor lifestyle choices over the span of time.
Because khapli has varying degrees of gluten development, it is definitely not considered to be completely free of gluten. However, when compared to wheat, eating khapli is likely to be an option for many people who are gluten intolerant or who otherwise might have difficulty digesting wheat, but khapli should be avoided as a food source by all who suffer from celiac disease. Therefore, Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta, as well as other types of khapli/grain-type bread products, are considered to be "more gentle" alternatives rather than "substitutes".
Khapli wheat, for example, has a naturally low glycemic index, which helps stabilise blood sugar after eating. Eating khapli wheat in controlled portions will not cause large spikes in blood glucose; however, eating larger portions and/or eating khapli wheat with larger amounts of fats may adversely impact blood glucose levels. The key aspect of khapli's glycemic index is moderation.
Khapli wheat is a good source of dietary fibre, with three chapatis providing approximately 23% of the daily fibre requirement for adults; however, in order to meet daily nutritional needs, vegetables, fruits, and protein sources (e.g. meat) need to be included as part of balanced meals. Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta complements a balanced plate with its contribution of nutritional value, but in order to support optimal nutritional intake, all of the food groups are recommended.
The high fibre and protein content of khapli wheat keeps you feeling full, since three chapatis provide around 23% of the protein required daily; however, khapli wheat cannot be classified as a weight-loss grain on its own because of the importance of weight loss being based on total caloric intake rather than just the type of grain.
The nuttier and deeper flavour profile of khapli wheat can confuse some people into thinking that it is heavier than other types of wheat. When properly milled, such as Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta, khapli wheat creates chapatis that are soft and have a wholesome texture that can be used for everyday meals, just like other wheat.
Even healthy foods have their limitations. Khapli wheat is low in sugars and saturated fats and does not contain trans fat naturally; therefore, if you eat way too much khapli wheat, it won't help you get as many benefits. When you consume khapli wheat responsibly and in moderation, you should remember that balance, portion size, and variety are still more important than how often you eat anything.
There is nothing coincidental about the rebirth of khapli wheat; its rich protein, fibre, iron, and B1 content all work together to promote healthy digestion and muscles as well as support energy metabolism. Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta makes using this ancient grain much more convenient and easy to incorporate into daily meals.
Khapli wheat is not a trend and is not a miracle food, but when utilised honestly, it will/can make a positive impact on the diets of those who choose it; ultimately, those individuals will benefit from informed decisions about what they eat and how much.
