Quick answer: Khapli wheat (also called Emmer) is one of the oldest cultivated wheat varieties, naturally lower in gluten and higher in fiber than common wheat. Sihore wheat is a premium variety milled with zero maida or fillers. Both represent a return to simpler, less-processed flour compared to typical packaged atta.
Before high-yield hybrid wheat became the norm, Indian kitchens relied on older, less-processed grain varieties — grown the same way for generations, valued for flavour and texture rather than yield per acre. Khapli wheat and Sihore wheat are two such varieties that have stayed in use precisely because of what makes them different.
Khapli wheat, also called Emmer wheat, is one of the oldest cultivated wheat varieties in the world. It's a "hulled" wheat — the grain stays enclosed in a tough husk that has to be removed during processing, a structure closer to wild wheat than modern varieties. This older grain structure is part of what gives Khapli its lower gluten content, higher fiber, and distinct nutty flavour compared to common bread wheat.
Sihore wheat takes a different approach to "traditional" — rather than being a distinct botanical variety, it's a premium wheat milled with zero maida and no fillers, prioritising the full grain (bran, germ, and endosperm) over the softer, easier-to-work-with dough that comes from cutting in refined flour.
In a market full of blended, heavily processed flour, Khapli and Sihore represent two different paths back to simpler milling: one through an older grain genetics, one through refusing to dilute the grain at all. Both are milled fresh only after you order, which matters even more for whole grain flour, since it retains the oil-rich germ that begins losing flavour once exposed to air.
