Title:

Slow Sugar Release - Low GI Atta

Value Proposition:

Low GI atta technology addresses the rising burden of lifestyle diseases, particularly diabetes, which affects millions in India. Conventional wheat flour has a medium to high glycemic index, leading to rapid blood sugar spikes, whereas low GI atta releases glucose slowly, helping maintain stable blood sugar levels and sustained energy.

Supports growing demand for diabetic-friendly and lifestyle-oriented food products.

Advantages:
  • Helps in slower glucose release and supports better glycemic management.
  • Provides improved nutritional profile with dietary fibre and balanced ingredients.
  • Suitable for preparation of chapati, roti, and other traditional food products.
