Diabetes Multigrain Atta (Balanced Flour for Sugar Patient ) – 5 kg

Description

Why This 15-Grain Atta?

Meet an everyday flour that fits real life. Our Diabetes-Balanced 15-grain atta is formulated for people aiming for steadier energy—from roti to paratha and puri alternatives. We combined whole wheat for softness with a strategic mix of barley and oats (natural sources of β-glucan), diverse low-GI millets, pulses for protein, and small amounts of functional seeds and fibers that help slow digestion. The result? Familiar taste and texture—with a smarter, research-informed nutrition profile.

Key Benefits

• Steadier post-meal energy: Blend includes β-glucan fibers (barley, oats) plus psyllium and fenugreek to slow carb absorption.
• Protein + fiber synergy: Chickpea, moong, and soy flours support fullness and balanced macros.
• Millet diversity: Bajra, ragi, foxtail, and sorghum add minerals and slowly digestible starches.
• Familiar roti performance: 60% whole wheat keeps your dough workable and rotis soft.
• Clean formulation: No maida, no added sugar, no artificial preservatives.

15-Grain Diabetes-Balanced Multigrain Flour (Atta)

How to Use (Roti Method)

1. Hydration: Start with 65–70% water (650–700 ml per 1 kg flour). Add gradually.
2. Rest: Cover and rest 20–30 minutes (improves softness and rollability).
3. Knead: 3–5 minutes until smooth. If sticky, add a teaspoon of dry flour.
4. Cook: Roll slightly thicker than standard. Cook on a hot tawa; finish on open flame for puff.
5. Optional fermentation: Mix in 1–2 tbsp yogurt or a pinch of yeast; rest 45–60 minutes for extra softness and digestibility.

Suggested Serving

Begin with 1 medium roti (approx. 40–50 g flour) alongside protein (dal, chicken, fish), sabzi, and salad. Adjust per your dietitian/clinician’s guidance.

Who Is It For?

• People seeking a balanced multigrain staple for steadier energy.
• Those managing highs (hyperglycemia) and wanting to avoid sharp post-meal spikes.
• Those prone to lows (hypoglycemia) who benefit from slower, more predictable release (note: treat active hypos with fast-acting carbs as directed by your clinician).

Allergen & Dietary Notes

• Contains gluten (wheat). Not suitable for celiac disease.
• Includes soy and sesame. Manufactured in a facility that also handles tree nuts and peanuts.
• Millets are generally well-tolerated; if you have thyroid disease, ensure adequate iodine intake and seek personalized advice.

Storage & Shelf Life

• Keep airtight, cool, and dry. Due to natural oils (flax, sesame), use within 6–8 weeks.
• In hot/humid weather, refrigerate or freeze a portion. Always bring to room temperature before use.

Clean Label

• No maida
• No added sugar
• No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives

Why these ingredients (evidence in brief)

• Barley & Oats (β-glucan): Multiple systematic reviews show oat β-glucan reduces post-meal glucose and insulin (effect depends on dose and molecular weight). Barley’s β-glucan–rich foods also attenuate postprandial glycemia. NaturePMCMDPI
• Psyllium (ispaghol): Meta-analyses (including 2024) report significant improvements in fasting glucose and HbA1c with adequate doses and duration. Even small amounts in staple flour increase meal viscosity and slow absorption. PMCPubMed
• Fenugreek (methi): Systematic reviews and controlled trials suggest hypoglycemic effects via delayed carb absorption and enhanced insulin action (evidence quality varies). Hence a conservative 0.5%. PMC+1ScienceDirect
• Flaxseed (alsi): Reviews/meta-analyses report improvements in fasting glucose/insulin resistance; several show HbA1c reductions in T2D—whole/ground forms perform best. PMCPubMed
• Millets (bajra, ragi, kangni) & sorghum: A meta-analysis and recent reviews show regular millet intake lowers fasting and post-meal glucose and often has lower GI than refined staples; sorghum’s resistant starch and polyphenols may aid glucose metabolism. ICRISAT OARFrontiersPMC
• Pulses (besan/chickpea, moong, soy): Adding pulse flours to wheat breads/rotis lowers GI and blunts post-meal glucose while improving protein and fiber. PMCChemical Studies Journal
• Sesame (til): Meta-analyses indicate modest improvements in fasting glucose and HbA1c with sesame products; we use 1% for taste and nutrition without overpowering flavor. PubMed
• Buckwheat (kuttu): Emerging human data suggest supportive effects on insulin/glucose and cardiometabolic markers. MDPIPMC

Thyroid note (re: bajra): Pearl millet contains compounds with potential goitrogenic activity. The latest systematic review finds the evidence not compelling for harm in balanced diets, but if you have thyroid disease—especially iodine deficiency—keep portions moderate and ensure adequate iodine (iodized salt), or discuss with your clinician.
