Khapli (खापली गहू) — Emmer Wheat
Khapli (Triticum dicoccum) is an ancient emmer wheat cultivated for millennia — including across Maharashtra. Compared with many modern hybrids, Khapli is often valued for its higher dietary fibre, lower glycemic response in several dietary studies, and lower gluten fraction — which may feel gentler for some households (it is not gluten-free and is unsuitable for celiac disease).
Nutrition researchers highlight protein, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B-vitamins including folate. Rotis and breads made from Khapli atta can offer sustained fullness thanks to fibre-rich flour — helpful when you are managing portions or blood-sugar awareness.
- Low-GI friendly rotations: Often chosen when moderating refined grains — GI values reported around the high-30s in some analyses (values vary by batch and cooking).
- Fibre-forward: Supports digestive regularity and steady energy compared with refined wheat.
- Heritage taste: Nutty, earthy flavour — excellent for rotis, porridge, and artisan loaves.
- Grain or atta: Order whole Khapli or fresh Khapli wheat flour — milled in small runs when you choose atta.
- Our craft: Sun-ripened ears, cleaned carefully, stone-ground or milled to order for freshness.
