Organic Black Wheat Flour - Cold Pressed (Gharat ka Atta)

Black wheat is a gluten free cereal which is rich in vitamin B, protein, dietary fibre and other nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, selenium and copper. The polysaccharide and protein content of Black wheat seeds are higher than that found in common wheat. Black wheat is supposed to have highest anthocyanin content among all colored lines, has around 60% more iron. Anthocyanins are antioxidants which removes free radicals from the body before they are able to react with the cellular components and alter their function or structure.

Gharat (Watermil) - Traditional way of making atta.

Gharats were once a major medium for grinding wheat, in mountain villages. The flour from water-powered mill was not only nutritious but also tasty. 
The Gharats, which add sweetness to the mountain culture and social fabric there, are now less visible. Gharat i.e. the mill in the mountain grinds wheat with the help of water and not electricity. In a small hut-like room covered with stones at the bottom of the mountain, when a strong stream of water coming from the drain hits the upper part of the manual set-up, the stone mill starts rotating at high speed to grind wheat. People take turns grinding their wheat and leaving some part of the flour there as flour. That part of the dough goes to the person who takes care of the house.

At H2H, we take pride in preserving the ancient tradition of making flour using the gharat method.
