Sonamoti wheat is a traditional wheat variety cultivated in dryland farming systems and suited to low-input agriculture. Traditional wheat varieties are maintained by farmers for their adaptation to local growing conditions and grain characteristics suitable for flour making. The wheat used for this flour is grown using natural farming practices without chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Source: ICAR
In Maharashtrian households, Sonamoti wheat flour is commonly used to make chapati, phulka, bhakri, puri, and sheera. The flour is suitable for everyday wheat-based cooking and can also be used for thalipeeth, lapsi, and other traditional preparations made from wheat flour.
According to the Indian Food Composition Tables (ICMR-NIN), whole wheat is a source of carbohydrates and protein and also contains dietary fibre and minerals such as iron. Whole wheat flour is classified as whole grain flour when all parts of the grain are present in the same proportion as the original grain. Source: ICMR-NIN and FSSAI
Choosing naturally grown Sonamoti wheat flour means the grain is produced without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides and processed for flour without large-scale industrial refining. Buying directly from farmers supports traditional wheat varieties and small-scale farming systems and helps keep traditional grains in cultivation.
