About Wheat chilka

Wheat Chilka, also known as wheat bran, is the outer layer of the wheat kernel separated during milling. Rich in dietary fiber, it is a powerhouse of nutrition commonly used in Indian and health-conscious cuisines. Packed with essential vitamins like B-complex and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and iron, it supports digestive health, helps maintain blood sugar levels, and promotes heart wellness. Its high fiber content makes it an excellent aid for weight management and improved gut health. Low in calories and fat, Wheat Chilka is ideal for those seeking a nutrient-dense addition to their diet. However, its strong fiber concentration may cause digestive discomfort for individuals with sensitive stomachs if consumed in excess. Often added to baked goods, porridges, or smoothies, Wheat Chilka is a versatile, natural ingredient for boosting nutritional value in everyday meals.
