Monteflour contains 8 whole ingredients: Whole Wheat Flour, Wheat Bran, Oat Flour, Foxtail Millet Flour, Pearl Millet Flour, Sorghum (Jowar) Millet Flour, Finger Millet (Ragi) Flour, and Ground Flaxseeds. Nothing else — no additives, no preservatives, no refined starches.
Does Monteflour contain gluten?
Yes, Monteflour contains gluten as it includes Whole Wheat Flour and Wheat Bran. It is not suitable for people with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. However, the presence of millets and oats may make it more tolerable for those with mild gluten sensitivity compared to 100% wheat flour.
How long does Monteflour last?
Monteflour is best consumed within 6 months from the date of manufacturing. Check the "Best Before" date printed on the base of the box. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, we recommend transferring to an airtight container.
Is Monteflour organic?
Monteflour is made entirely with natural ingredients — no synthetic chemicals, no artificial additives, no GMO ingredients. While not certified organic, every ingredient is selected for purity and nutritional quality, and each batch is lab tested to ensure no contaminants.
Is Monteflour suitable for diabetics?
Monteflour has a Low Glycemic Index (Low GI) due to its high fiber content and whole grain composition. This means it causes a slower, more gradual rise in blood sugar compared to regular refined flour. However, we recommend consulting your doctor or dietitian for personalised advice if you have diabetes.
Health
How much more fiber does Monteflour have than regular flour?
Monteflour contains 13.41g of dietary fiber per 100g. Regular refined wheat flour (maida) contains approximately 2–2.5g per 100g. That means Monteflour provides more than 5 times the fiber of regular flour in every serving.
Can Monteflour help with weight management?
The high fiber content of Monteflour promotes satiety — meaning you feel fuller for longer after eating. Combined with its low glycemic index (slow energy release), it can help reduce overeating and support a healthy weight as part of a balanced diet.
Is it safe for children?
Absolutely. Monteflour is made entirely from natural whole grains and seeds with zero artificial additives, preservatives, or chemicals. It is a nutritious choice for children of all ages. The higher fiber content is especially beneficial for developing digestive systems.
Can I use it if I'm pregnant?
Monteflour is a wholesome, natural product. The folic acid, iron, and calcium content make it particularly nutritious during pregnancy. As always, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider regarding specific dietary needs during pregnancy.
Cooking & Baking
Can I use Monteflour as a 1:1 substitute for regular atta?
Yes, in most cases you can use Monteflour as a direct substitute for regular whole wheat atta. You may need to add slightly more water when kneading dough as the high fiber content absorbs more liquid. We also recommend resting the dough for 10–15 minutes for best results.
Why is my dough or baked goods darker than usual?
The darker colour is entirely natural and expected. It reflects the presence of wheat bran, millets, and flaxseeds — all of which are darker than refined white flour. This is a sign of real, whole food nutrition — not a defect.
What can I make with Monteflour?
Monteflour is extremely versatile. You can make rotis, flatbreads, parathas, breads, pancakes, cookies, cupcakes, brownies, crackers, porridge, and much more. Visit our Recipes page for detailed, tested recipes for each.
Can I mix Monteflour with other flours?
Absolutely. Many people blend Monteflour with rice flour, besan (chickpea flour), or even regular atta to create customised flour mixes. Monteflour enriches any blend with fiber, iron, and omega-3s.
