🌱 Heritage & Sourcing
Farmer & Region: Certified organic farmer in Khed, at the foothills of the Western Ghats, Maharashtra 🌄 - an area famed for mineral-rich soils and traditional rain-fed agriculture.
Heirloom Purity: Non-hybridized, non-GMO Emmer (Khapli) seeds (Triticum dicoccum), carefully saved each season to preserve the true ancient genotype 🌱.
Protein & Gluten (Lab Tested): 14.5 % protein 💪; 8.29 % gluten. For comparison, C-306 wheat has 10.87 % protein and 8.33 % gluten.
🥗 Nutrition & Diabetic Friendliness
Glycemic Index: Low-moderate (≈39-55 reported in published nutrition sources). Remember the thumb rule - finer the grinding, higher the GI.
Why It Matters: Higher fiber and intact bran slow down carbohydrate absorption, supporting steadier post-meal glucose levels.

Moderate (depends on milling)
Khapli (Emmer): Several recent nutrition articles and dietitian resources report a lower glycemic index and slower digestion for Khapli / Emmer wheat (reported GI ranges in the literature and industry sources commonly fall between ~39-55). However, controlled clinical studies have shown mixed results for ancient wheats vs modern wheats in acute glycemic response, so we present GI as low-moderate and suggest portion control and pairing with protein / fiber for best blood-sugar outcomes.
C-306: Widely recognized in wheat research and breeding as a tall, traditional variety with excellent chapati (flatbread) quality - a benchmark in Indian chapati quality studies. GI for any wheat depends mainly on degree of milling and preparation (whole grain vs refined), so the processing method strongly affects blood-sugar response.
❓ Quick FAQ
Q: Is Khapli better for diabetics?
A: Evidence is encouraging - several studies report a lower glycemic index than modern wheats - but scientific consensus advises portion control and balanced meals.
