Thanks for sharing. This is another example of sharing knowledge with the Sangat instead of merely dismissing everybody other than you as ignorant.

Hope you keep it up.

The wheat we eat today is not the same wheat our grandparents ate.

Very likely. Our grandparents ate pre-Green Revolution wheat in Punjab. The Green Revolution varieties (and their cousins in the West) are quite a bit different from the olden ones.

Is mixed flour containing millet, chickpea, corn etc. safe? Less fibre and just as much protein (more complete too) but doesn't seem same as the atta us Panjabis regularly use.

The modern wheat varieties are actually genetic hybrids that contain a much greater number of  chromosomes and therefore more proteins that are not present in naturally-occuring ancient varieties of wheat. This is partly why modern wheat is pro-inflammatory, causes allergies, contains more gluten, and is full of anti-nutrients that strip the body of vitamins and minerals.

The second reason is that conventional wheat is sprayed with pesticides including the notorious glyphosate before harvesting which means that residues remain and are ingested. Glyphosate is carcinogenic, immunomodulatory, damages gut flora, causes chronic diseases like coeliacs/leaky gut, nutritional deficiencies. 

The ancient wheat varieties I have seen are organically grown so therefore are not exposed to Glyphosate.

Many people with so called 'gluten-intolerance' are able to eat ancient wheat (which contains gluten) without any problems. Much like how people with so called 'lactose intolerance' can drink raw milk (which contains lactose) without any issues. These are false labels as they are misidentifying the culprit. 

Another problem with modern atta is the fact that in the UK (maybe other countries too) only 'wholemeal' flour is exempt from additives such as synthetic 'vitamins and minerals' (which are actually toxic drugs with different chemical properties and effects compared to what is found in nature). So every type of flour bar wholemeal contains artificial additives by law.

The solution:

Buy an ancient variety of wholemeal flour i.e. Einkorn,  If unavailable then buy Khorasan flour.....they make delicious, easily digestible rotis. 

You can buy them online (in UK its Dove Farm Organics) or in supermarkets like Waitrose. 

You can't put a price on your health. Since roti is a staple of our diet, this one change could make a lot of difference to our health.

This is what I do and thought i'd share it with you.

 

 

I use dove farm's spelt flour too as it is more widely available ...their gram flour is excellent

The main problem with regular wheat crops is that farmers use roundup just before harvesting to ease collection , round up has the horrible effect of spoiling our ability to absorb any minerals from our food thus what people think is coeliac disease is actually the sideeffects of roundup.

Khorasan flour is more ancient than spelt flour and contains fewer chromosomes since it is less hybridised.

Einkorn is the most ancient with the fewest chromosomes. It is currently out of stock so I buy Khorasan flour from Waitrose at the lowest price of £2.85/kg. 

But if you can't get them then emmer/spelt are the next best options.

I know all three are ancient with spelt still the younger variety ... kids love the einkorn /khorosan but it keeps running out at waitrose

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
