Embrace a traditional Indian superfood renowned for its nutritional benefits and versatility with Malik Foods Sattu (Roasted Gram Flour) in a convenient 1kg pack. This unique flour, available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm, is made by grinding roasted grams (most commonly Bengal gram/kala chana, or a mix of grains and legumes). Sattu is a staple in many parts of India, particularly Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab, cherished for its cooling properties in summer, its high protein and fiber content, and its use in a variety of delicious and energizing preparations.

Understanding Sattu - The Nutrient-Rich Flour)
Sattu is distinct from regular besan (gram flour) because the grams are roasted before being ground, which imparts a unique nutty aroma and flavor, and also makes it easier to digest.

• Rich in Protein & Fiber: An excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, making it very satiating and beneficial for digestive health.

• Cooling Properties (Traditional Belief): Sattu drinks are traditionally consumed in summer for their cooling effect on the body.

• Provides Sustained Energy: Its complex carbohydrates and protein offer a slow release of energy, making it a great food for stamina.

• Naturally Gluten-Free (Typically, if made purely from gram): When made from just roasted chickpeas or other gluten-free legumes/grains, it's a fantastic gluten-free option. (Verify specific ingredients of Malik Foods Sattu).
