Sharbati
A tier
Sharbati is a premium Indian wheat type associated with soft, sweet, slightly yellowish flour prized for soft rotis, chapatis, and other wholemeal flatbreads. The name is used for high-quality lots and regional cultivars/landrace groups rather than a single worldwide variety code, especially in Madhya Pradesh marketing. Atta milled from Sharbati-type grain is aromatic and extensible for hand-stretched breads. Home cooks and brands pay premiums for Sharbati atta over ordinary bread-wheat meal.
