Chapati flour

Chapati flour is a specially ground whole wheat flour, traditionally used in the making of chapatis, a type of flatbread typical of the Indian subcontinent. This flour is characterized by its fine texture but high fiber content, as it retains the bran and germ of the wheat, making it nutritious and healthy.

Origin: This ingredient comes mainly from India and Pakistan, where chapati is a staple food in the daily diet. Chapati flour is obtained by grinding whole wheat, unlike refined white flour, so it maintains a more earthy flavor and a higher concentration of nutrients.

Properties: Chapati flour is rich in dietary fiber, which helps improve digestion and maintain a feeling of fullness. In addition, it contains proteins from whole wheat and moderate levels of complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy. It is an ideal option for flatbreads and other healthy baked goods.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: whole wheat flour for flatbread, whole wheat flour for tortillas, whole wheat flour, wheat wholemeal flour.
