Collection: Flours

At Conscious Food, we try to make the culinary journey as varied as possible, which is why our range of organic flours and grains extends a step further than your usual grocery stock.

We’ve got organic grains and cereals from millets to black rice to Dalia.

Mix up your rotis by experimenting with amaranth flour, wheat flour, soybean flour, sorghum (jowar) atta, pearl millet (bajra) flour, finger millet (Ragi) flour, brown rice flour (bhura chawal), atta, Bengal gram (chana) flour and barley (jau) flour. All of these flours contain all the health benefits of whole grains. You can get the most out of your meals with fibrous brown rice poha and red rice poha. Unlike traditionally milled flour, this flour has been stone ground to ensure it remains cool and its moisture and nutrient contents are preserved.

With the revival of ancient grains, millets are having a moment of their own. After being neglected for a long time, today, there is a whole movement dedicated to the cause of millets. Not only are they more resilient than water-intensive rice and wheat, but they are also nutritious. These tiny beads are teeming in the essential minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, B vitamins, and antioxidants. Probiotic, gluten-free, and alkaline, they are soothing to digest and great for weight management. Diabetics, in particular, prefer millets to rice and wheat for their low glycemic index and impressive fiber content, which keeps blood sugar levels in check. Millets also have a reasonable amount of protein, with pearl millet (bajra) having the highest content.

Traditional Indian thought has led us to believe in the nutritional benefits of sprouting our grain, a concept that the western world is only recently warming up. Sprouting grain helps break down the starch content; this makes digestion easier and proves to be a more valuable carbohydrate component for diabetics and people with chronic digestive disorders. In terms of flavor, flours made from sprouted wheat or millets tend to be nuttier. The earthiness of the Ragi or the creaminess of wheat gets accentuated manifold, making your dishes richer in flavor. Baked goods made from sprouted flour also tend to be lighter in texture.
