FAQs

Is this flour bleached?  

No, our maida is unbleached and free from artificial additives. The natural white color comes from careful milling of premium wheat.

Can I use it for daily chapatis?  

While possible, we don't recommend maida for daily use. It's best reserved for special recipes where texture is crucial.

How does it compare to all-purpose flour?

Maida is similar to all-purpose flour but milled finer, making it particularly good for delicate baked goods and Indian treats.

Why choose maida over whole wheat? 

Some recipes specifically need maida for the right texture. It's about choosing the right flour for the right purpose rather than one being "better" than the other.

Is it suitable for people with diabetes?  

Like all refined flours, maida should be consumed in moderation, especially by diabetics. We recommend consulting your doctor for specific dietary advice.

Can I mix it with whole wheat flour?

Absolutely! Many people blend maida with whole wheat flour to balance texture and nutrition in their recipes.
