Many families already use a multigrain atta because they like the idea of eating more than just wheat. But a typical multigrain atta is mostly about grain variety, not protein. A multigrain protein atta tries to give you both.
28 Grains offers a multigrain protein atta alongside our main high-protein atta and a low-carb protein atta. This page explains where it fits.
Multigrain vs protein vs both
It helps to separate the two ideas:
- Multigrain atta mixes wheat with other grains and millets. The focus is variety, taste and often fibre. Protein usually stays in a similar range to wheat atta.
- Protein atta blends whole wheat with plant-protein sources to raise protein sharply. Our main atta has 46 g protein per 100 g, about 4x regular atta.
- Multigrain protein atta brings the two together for people who want grain variety and a protein boost in one bag.
We explore this difference in depth in protein atta vs multigrain atta, and you can read about plain multigrain atta separately.
Which 28 Grains atta should you pick?

Pack labels carry the nutrition details for each variant, so compare them before you decide.
What cooking with it feels like
Multigrain flours tend to be a bit coarser and less stretchy than pure wheat. Add protein and the dough drinks more water. So a few small habits help:
- Use lukewarm water and add it in stages.
- Knead a little longer than you would for regular atta.
- Rest the dough 10–15 minutes before rolling.
- Roll slightly thicker if the edges crack, or cook as a tawa paratha with a little ghee.
Thepla, missi roti and methi paratha are especially forgiving and taste excellent with a multigrain base. For step-by-step help, see how to make soft protein roti.
Everyday meal ideas
- Methi thepla for travel and tiffins, with curd and pickle.
- Aloo-paneer paratha for a filling Sunday breakfast.
- Plain rotis with sarson ka saag or a mixed-dal tadka.
- Mini cheelas by thinning the flour with water and adding onions and tomatoes.

Who tends to choose multigrain protein atta?
People who already enjoy the earthy taste of multigrain rotis and do not want to give that up. Families who want a single flour that feels "wholesome" to elders and still adds protein for teenagers. And people following a high protein Indian diet who like rotating flavours through the week.
If you are managing a health condition, such as diabetes or kidney disease, please check with your doctor or dietitian before changing your staple flour or increasing protein.
Honest expectations
No single flour makes a diet complete. Multigrain protein atta works best as one part of a plate with dal, vegetables, curd and healthy fats. It is a practical upgrade to a staple you already eat daily, not a supplement or medicine.
Taste is also personal. Some people love the earthy, slightly coarse bite of multigrain rotis from the first meal; others need a week to adjust. If your family is used to very fine, white-ish chakki atta, start with thepla or paratha, where spices and fillings make the change feel natural. Children often accept it more easily as a stuffed paratha or a roti roll than as a plain roti.
Finally, remember that both protein and grain variety are only useful if the flour is fresh. Buy a pack size you will finish in a reasonable time, store it airtight, and keep it away from heat and humidity, especially during the monsoon. A 1 kg pack is ideal for a first trial, while regular users often prefer 5 kg.

Frequently asked questions
Is multigrain protein atta the same as regular multigrain atta?
No. Regular multigrain atta focuses on grain variety, while multigrain protein atta also includes added plant-protein sources to raise protein.
Does multigrain protein atta have 46 g protein per 100 g?
46 g per 100 g is the figure for our main high-protein atta. Please check the pack label of the multigrain variant for its own nutrition details.
Why do my multigrain protein rotis crack?
Multigrain and protein flours need more water and a proper rest. Knead a little longer, rest 10–15 minutes and roll slightly thicker if needed.
Can I use multigrain protein atta for theplas?
Yes. Theplas and parathas are some of the easiest and tastiest ways to use it.
