When you think of chapaatis/phulkas, the big sack-like packs of Aashirvaad's Whole Wheat Atta might come to mind but here on LBB, we have brands that not only boast of healthier flour alternatives, but also different kinds of them. For whether you intend on going gluten-free or just want to try #SomethingDifferent, there is enough whether you're trying to experiment, enjoy different flavours or textures all while staying healthy!

7 Healthy Atta Brands To Stock Up On Instead Of Aashirvaad
Nutriwish
Nutriwish is the ideal catalyst to propel you towards a healthier lifestyle. For those of you done with the same old atta rotis, these guys have options like chia seed flour, tapioca flour, rye flour, and even quinoa flour. Ideal for those of you seeking a gluten-free flour option, Nutriwish is also perfect for those of you wanting to shed inches. For rotis, porridges or any such dishes, you're sorted with options starting from 100g to 1kg. Prices vary from INR 200 - INR 500.
No Chapati Dish Suggestions: You can make keto tortillas using these and not skip your favourite tacos while trying to be healthy.
Nutty Yogi
Nutty Yogi has a range of flours that claim to offer less than 5g of carbohydrates and this, we feel is perfect for those of you needing their daily rotis to mop up dal and proteins while also keeping health in mind. We loved their Sattu atta and even their gluten-free oats flour that is a great substitute for regular wheat flours. They even have coconut flour and keto-friendly low carb flour. Perfect for pancakes, chapaatis and other food essentials, get these flours all in 500g sacks from LBB Shop for as low as INR 75.
No Chapati Dish Suggestions: Sattu and Jaggery Balls or a healthy glass of Sattu Buttermilk Shake would make for wonderful weekend eats.
Conscious Food
Just like the title suggests, this brand is known for food that is ideal for the health-conscious. This is a HACCP certified brand and all their flours are natural and organic, sourced from farmers. We're not talking the regular flour, these guys have buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, barley, and even amaranth flour to keep you hale and hearty. Twice in fiber and protein, if you lift, this is ideal for you. Prices range from INR 160 - INR 270 for packs of 500g.
No Chapati Dish Suggestions: Use the amaranth flour along with other flours in baked products as these are natural thickeners. They'd even make for some delectable tikkis.
Green Sense
This brand doesn't have an extensive range of flours but we can assure you that what they do have is high in quality. Try out Green Sense's Quinoa flour, Buckwheat Flour and Multi-grain flour that is organic and chemical-free. Their flours are sourced from farmers who only practice organic agriculture and these are all unadulterated, rich in fibres. For the lightest cakes and breads, check out this brand. These come in a pack of two, priced from INR 270 - INR 360.

Leanbeing
Leanbeing keeps true to its name with its range of keto flours. They're best known for their gluten-free keto flour that has a blended mix of ground seeds and nuts, ideal to make rotis to mop up those rich curries. They also have keto coconut flour- best for gluten-free baking. Available in 1kg packs priced from INR 299 - INR 540, you could buy them once and have them stocked up for as long as you need. There's even rolled-oats flour that's a great source of carbs, fibres and proteins and best suited for bodybuilders.
No Chapati Dish Suggestions: Thinking of baking a pie or some muffins, perhaps? Their coconut flour and their rolled oats flour will certainly come in handy.
Wellversed
Wellversed is another brand known for its keto flours and we can't help but talk about the fact that these are not just tasty but also super healthy. They sell quinoa flour, gluten-free flour and a special zero sugar flour for those with diabetes. These have 30% more protein than regular flour. For those of you on a keto diet, we highly suggest this brand's products and we must say, the prices were a tad high for 750g of flour - INR 199 to INR 424.
No Chapati Dish Suggestions: Whip up some super healthy yet delectable khakras as tea-time snacks.
TWF
TWF deserves a spot in this list not just because they sell healthy organic wheat but also because they ground wheat as and when you place an order. Unprocessed and unbleached, this is indeed what you can call chakki fresh atta. While we don't simp over 'round rotis,' we really wouldn't mind flavourful ones as their Highland Wheat Flour is a tad sweet. Want something low in gluten? Their Reliq range will have you sorted. The flour sacks are available in sizes from 1kg to 2kg for around INR 298 - INR 598.
Note: Order from their website and get fresh ground-to-order flour at your doorstep.
No Chapati Dish Suggestions: The slight sweetness from the Highland flour means these are perfect for whole wheat pizza bases.
