How to Read a Multigrain Atta Label

FSSAI mandates ingredients in descending order by weight. If "wheat flour" is listed first and constitutes 80%+ of the blend, the product is essentially wheat atta with token additions - not genuinely multigrain. Look for brands that declare specific percentages.

FAQs

Q1. What are the multigrain atta ingredients in Hindi?
The common multigrain atta ingredients in Hindi are: gehu ka atta (गेहूं - wheat), ragi/nachni (रागी/नाचनी - finger millet), jowar (ज्वार - sorghum), bajra (बाजरा - pearl millet), besan (बेसन - gram flour), alsi (अलसी - flaxseed), and sometimes soya atta (सोया - soy flour) and jau (जौ - barley). A quality multigrain atta contains 5-7 of these ingredients with at least 40% millet/legume content.

Q2. What is the best ratio for multigrain atta?
For general health: wheat 45% + ragi 15% + jowar 15% + bajra 10% + besan 10% + flaxseed 5%. For diabetes: replace regular wheat with khapli wheat and increase millet proportions. For maximum protein, increase besan to 20% and add soy flour at 10%.

Q3. Can I make multigrain atta at home?
Yes - home blending is often better quality and cheaper than branded multigrain atta. Buy individual stone-ground flours, mix in your preferred ratio, and store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. This gives complete control over grain proportions and quality.

Q4. Is multigrain atta gluten-free?
No - most multigrain atta contains wheat flour (40-50%) and therefore contains gluten. For gluten-free multigrain flour, blend only millets and legume flours: jowar 30% + ragi 25% + bajra 20% + besan 15% + foxtail millet 10%. This is safe for celiac disease.
