I used to think all atta was basically the same.
If it said “whole wheat” on the pack and made soft rotis, it was good enough… right?
But over the years, after hearing about gut health, sugar crashes, and blood tests that didn’t look so great — I started wondering: What’s really going into this flour I eat twice a day?
That’s when I discovered multigrain flour, and more importantly, how different it is from regular flour in ways no one tells you.
Let’s break it down.
1. Multigrain Flour Keeps You Full for Longer
Ever felt hungry just 30 minutes after lunch?
That’s because regular atta (especially if it’s refined or laced with maida) digests super quickly. It spikes your blood sugar, then crashes it, leaving you craving snacks and sweets.
Multigrain flour, on the other hand, is made from fiber-rich foods like jowar, bajra, oats, and chana dal — all of which digest slowly, keeping your blood sugar stable and your stomach satisfied.
2. It’s Better for Digestion and Gut Health
One of the most underrated benefits?
Gut comfort.
Refined flour can slow digestion and trigger bloating, especially if you have a sensitive stomach.
Multigrain flour is naturally high in prebiotic fibers and resistant starch — making it a gut-friendly food that supports smoother digestion and better nutrient absorption.
3. It Supports Hormonal and Metabolic Health
This one’s big if you’re managing PCOS or diabetes.
The slow-digesting carbs and high protein content in multigrain blends can help regulate insulin, manage cravings, and reduce inflammation — all of which are vital for hormonal balance and long-term health.
In fact, low glycemic index products like multigrain flour are now considered essentials in PCOS-friendly and diabetic-friendly diets.
4. It Actually Has Nutrients
Most regular atta in the market is stripped down and “polished” to look light and feel soft.
But that “clean” look comes at a cost — lower fiber, lower protein, and almost zero micronutrients.
A good organic multigrain flour, on the other hand, gives you B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants naturally — with no need for pills or fancy powders.
5. You Don’t Need to Change How You Cook
Here’s the surprising part: Multigrain atta still gives you the same soft, puffed-up rotis.
It’s not like switching to millet rotis (which can be tricky). You don’t need to change your meals or compromise on taste. In fact, the earthy, wholesome flavor of multigrain rotis is a refreshing change from the blandness of refined wheat.
If anything, your body — and your taste buds — will thank you.
So… Should You Switch?
Absolutely.
If you’re someone who wants to eat healthier without overhauling your entire diet — start with your atta.
It’s the one staple that shows up in most Indian homes daily.

Whether you’re managing weight, blood sugar, or just looking for better everyday food — this one switch could change a lot more than just your roti.
