Wheat flour is an essential ingredient in any Indian household. Our chapatis and rotis are made using wheat flour and thatβs a staple diet in many regions of the country, and across the subcontinent. Gone are the days when you can go to your local mill with your grain and have them grind it for you. We now have many brands that are selling organic flour in India. Studies have shown that itβs healthier for the wheat flour to be organic whole wheat flour. It has a lower glycemic index, and is better for your heart. I have found that Organic Tattvaβs Organic chakki atta is excellent. It is also a great brand with many other organic products. Their organic flour tastes great, and the rotis come out light and fluffy. The flour is rich in iron, protein and calcium. Whatβs more is that it contains dietary fibres and sodium, to improve your digestive health too. I think Organic tattva is the best wheat flour brand in India.

Yes. Wheat flour is the same as Plain Flour. Unless recipe calls for whole-wheat flour, that would mean wholemeal flour.
Different flours can be used interchangeably, although they will not produce identical products. White flour is a type of wheat flour that has all elements of the wheat grain removed except for the starchy inner part of the grain. It is usually chemically bleached to the preferred whiteness. Other types of wheat flour include unbleached white flour, whole wheat flour and cracked wheat flour. Bread flour is wheat flour with a higher percentage of gluten, while pastry flour is wheat flour with lower gluten. Self-rising flour is wheat flour to which salt and leavening ingredients are added. Some flours that can replace wheat flours are spelt flour, oat flour, rye flour, rice flour and corn flour. Each type of flour will have a distinctive taste and texture.
No. Rice flour is made from rice. Plain flour is refined wheat flour. Self rising flour is refined wheat flour with baking powder and salt already in it. Wheat flour has gluten, rice flour does not and cannot be used to substitute for wheat flour.
no, wheat bran is an additive that can be ADDED to products as where wheat flour IS the product
Whole wheat flour is just that, wheat that is ground into flour with nothing removed. White flour is just the middle part of the wheat kernel without the bran or wheat germ. Enriched flour has vitamins added to it to make up for the bran and wheat germ. Refined could mean any of these other than whole wheat.
