About Wheat cake

Wheat cakes are simple, savory flatbreads made primarily from whole wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt. Rooted in various global cuisines, they are especially popular in South Asian and Middle Eastern diets, often served alongside curries, soups, or enjoyed as a snack. High in dietary fiber and essential nutrients like iron and magnesium, wheat cakes provide sustained energy and support digestive health. They are low in fat and cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy choice when prepared without added oils or butter. However, their glycemic load may vary depending on portion size, so they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Easy to prepare and versatile, wheat cakes are an excellent source of plant-based protein for vegetarians and vegans, offering a wholesome and nutritious alternative to refined-grain products.
