GudSwap by BeatO Low GI Chakki Atta (1kg) - Diabetes-Friendly Multigrain Flour

Product Overview

GudSwap by BeatO Low GI Chakki Atta is a scientifically formulated diabetes-friendly flour that combines the goodness of whole wheat, ancient grains, and super seeds. This stone-ground multigrain atta is specifically designed for individuals managing diabetes, those focused on weight management, and anyone seeking a healthier alternative to regular wheat flour.

The unique blend features millets, besan (chickpea flour), flax seeds, chia seeds, and sprouted fenugreek seeds - all carefully selected for their low glycemic properties and nutritional benefits. Unlike refined wheat flour, this atta is crafted to provide slow glucose release, helping you maintain stable blood sugar levels and sustained energy throughout the day.

Key Highlights: - Low Glycemic Index (GI) formulation for better blood sugar control - Stone-ground using traditional chakki method to preserve nutrients - High in dietary fiber (12.62g per 100g) and plant protein (21.2g per 100g) - Zero added sugar and no preservatives - Rich in natural omega-3 fatty acids - Makes soft, fluffy rotis that taste like regular atta

What Makes This Atta Special

Low Glycemic Index for Diabetes Management

The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels. Foods with a GI below 55 are considered low GI, 55-69 are medium GI, and above 70 are high GI.1 Regular refined wheat flour typically has a high GI of around 70, causing rapid blood sugar spikes.

GudSwap Low GI Chakki Atta falls into the medium-to-low GI category, similar to multigrain flours studied in clinical research. Scientific studies have shown that multigrain rotis prepared with 40-45% millets have a GI of 63-66, significantly lower than refined wheat products.2 This slower glucose release helps prevent sudden blood sugar spikes and supports better diabetes management.

Stone-Ground Traditional Processing

Unlike modern roller mills that use high-speed grinding and generate heat, GudSwap atta is stone-ground using the traditional chakki method. This slow grinding process offers several advantages:

Powerful Ingredient Blend

Each ingredient in GudSwap atta is chosen for specific health benefits:

Whole Wheat: Provides the base with complex carbohydrates and essential nutrients. Whole wheat has a GI of approximately 45, much lower than refined wheat.3

Millets: Ancient grains that are naturally gluten-friendly and rich in minerals. Research shows millets can reduce fasting blood sugar levels by up to 12% in people with diabetes.4

Besan (Chickpea Flour): High in protein and fiber, besan helps slow down carbohydrate absorption and provides sustained energy.

Flax Seeds: Excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and lignans. The high fiber content in flaxseeds slows sugar absorption, preventing sudden blood glucose spikes.4

Chia Seeds: Packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3s. Chia seeds support diabetes management by improving insulin sensitivity.

Sprouted Fenugreek Seeds: Studies show fenugreek helps lower blood glucose levels and improves glucose tolerance in people with diabetes.4

Key Nutritional Advantages

How to Use GudSwap Low GI Atta

Making Perfect Rotis/Chapatis

  1. Prepare the Dough: Take desired amount of GudSwap atta in a bowl. Add water gradually (approximately 1:1.5 ratio of flour to water) and knead into a soft, smooth dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.

  2. Rest the Dough: Cover and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb water fully and makes rolling easier.

  3. Roll the Rotis: Divide dough into small balls. Dust with dry flour and roll into thin, round circles using a rolling pin.

  4. Cook on Griddle: Heat a griddle (tawa) on medium-high heat. Place the rolled roti on the hot griddle. When bubbles appear, flip and cook the other side. Press gently with a cloth to help it puff up.

  5. Serve Fresh: Rotis made with GudSwap atta are soft and fluffy. Serve hot with your favorite curry, dal, or vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the glycemic index of this atta?

While the specific GI of GudSwap atta hasn't been individually tested, multigrain flours with similar compositions (40-45% millets, whole wheat, and legume flours) have been clinically shown to have a GI in the range of 63-66, which falls in the medium GI category.2 This is significantly lower than refined wheat flour (GI ~70) and helps in better blood sugar management. The actual GI can vary based on preparation method and what you eat with the roti.

Can non-diabetics use this atta?

Absolutely! GudSwap Low GI Atta is beneficial for everyone, not just people with diabetes. The high fiber content, balanced nutrition, and sustained energy release make it an excellent choice for: - Weight management - Heart health - Digestive wellness - Overall family nutrition - Active lifestyles requiring sustained energy

Many families choose low GI foods as a preventive measure and for general health benefits.

How does stone-ground atta differ from regular atta?

Stone-ground (chakki) atta is processed using traditional slow-grinding methods that preserve the nutritional integrity of the grains. Key differences include: - Temperature: Stone grinding generates less heat, preventing nutrient oxidation9 - Texture: Produces a coarser, more wholesome texture - Nutrition: Retains natural oils, vitamins, and minerals that are lost in high-speed roller milling - Fiber: Preserves the bran and germ for maximum fiber content - No Additives: Doesn't require chemical bleaching or artificial fortification

Will rotis made from this atta taste different?

GudSwap atta is formulated to taste similar to regular wheat atta. The rotis are soft and fluffy with a slightly nuttier, more wholesome flavor due to the millets and seeds. Most users find the taste pleasant and prefer it once they get accustomed to it. The texture might be slightly different initially, but proper kneading ensures soft rotis.

How much atta should I use daily?

The recommended serving size is 60g per serving (approximately 2 medium rotis). For most adults, 2-3 servings per day (4-6 rotis) as part of a balanced diet is appropriate. However, individual needs vary based on: - Activity level - Overall calorie requirements - Blood sugar management goals - Other dietary sources of carbohydrates

Consult with your dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

Can I mix this with regular wheat flour?

While you can mix it with regular wheat flour, it's recommended to use GudSwap atta on its own to get the full benefits of the low GI formulation. Mixing with regular wheat flour will increase the overall glycemic index and reduce the effectiveness for blood sugar management.

Is this suitable for people with gluten sensitivity?

No, GudSwap atta contains whole wheat and is not suitable for people with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. However, the ancient grains and millets in the blend may be easier to digest for some people with mild wheat sensitivity. If you have gluten concerns, consult your healthcare provider before use.

How should I store opened atta?

For best results: - Transfer to an airtight container immediately after opening - Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight - For extended freshness (beyond 1 month), refrigerate in an airtight container5 - Can be frozen for up to 6 months in freezer-safe containers6 - Always use clean, dry utensils to scoop flour - Keep away from moisture to prevent spoilage

Does this atta contain any preservatives or additives?

No, GudSwap Low GI Chakki Atta is completely free from: - Preservatives - Artificial colors - Artificial flavors - Added sugars - Chemical bleaching agents - Artificial fortification

It contains only natural, whole food ingredients.

Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use this atta?

Yes, GudSwap atta is safe and nutritious for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The high fiber, protein, and nutrient content can be beneficial during pregnancy and lactation. However, if you have gestational diabetes or specific dietary restrictions, consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

What is the difference between this and regular multigrain atta?

GudSwap atta is specifically formulated for diabetes management with: - Carefully selected low GI ingredients - Optimal ratio of millets (40-45%) for blood sugar control - Stone-ground processing to preserve nutrients - Addition of super seeds (flax, chia, fenugreek) for extra benefits - No added sugars or preservatives - Scientifically designed composition based on clinical research

Regular multigrain atta may not have the same careful formulation or low GI properties.

How long does it take to see benefits?

Many users report feeling more sustained energy and reduced post-meal sluggishness within the first week of regular use. For blood sugar management benefits: - Immediate: Lower post-meal glucose spikes compared to regular atta - 2-4 weeks: Improved overall blood sugar patterns - 2-3 months: Potential improvements in HbA1c levels (when combined with overall diabetes management)

Results vary by individual and depend on overall diet, lifestyle, and diabetes management practices.
