Flour, chapati, brown

Brown chapati flour is a wheat flour used to make chapatis, a type of flatbread. The figures here describe the dry flour, rather than prepared chapatis. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with fibre and protein also contributing to its nutritional content. Per 100g, it contains 73g of carbohydrate, 7.9g of fibre, 10g of protein and 1.9g of fat.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The flour itself contains little salt or saturated fat, but salt, oil or other fats added during preparation will change the nutritional content of the finished chapatis. Full nutrient figures for the flour are in the tables below.
