🧬 Introduction: Why This Comparison Matters
Wheat is a staple in Indian homes, but not all wheat is created equal. With rising concerns about gluten intolerance, diabetes, and lifestyle diseases, more people are switching to ancient grains like Khapli atta (Emmer wheat).
But how does it compare to the modern wheat you buy off the shelf?
Let’s uncover what your nutritionist may not have told you.
🌾 What is Khapli Wheat?
Khapli wheat is an ancient variety of wheat known as Emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum). Cultivated for over 5,000 years, it’s rich in nutrients, low in gluten, and easier to digest. It hasn't been genetically modified, unlike most modern wheat varieties.

🥖 Modern Wheat: The Processed Staple
Today’s "regular" wheat has been selectively bred for:
-
High gluten content
-
Faster yield
-
Longer shelf life
But this has come at a cost:
-
🌡️ Higher glycemic index (bad for blood sugar)
-
❌ Gluten overload (gut inflammation, bloating)
-
⛔️ Nutrient depletion due to processing and refining
