Elephant Atta, the nation’s favourite chapatti flour brand* has added the sunshine vitamin to their atta.
This latest addition to their range of Medium atta variants is high in Vitamin D which is good for your teeth, bones, muscles and supports the normal function of the immune system.** The number one source of Vitamin D is the sun, but as the days get shorter and winter approaches it gets harder to absorb enough of it. According to Public Health England, 1 in 5 people in the UK have low levels of Vitamin D*** with people of South Asian heritage potentially at a higher risk****making this a very exciting and highly relevant new product to hit the shelves
Consumers can rest assured that there is absolutely no compromise on taste either, their chapattis will be as delicious as always, just with added health benefits for the whole family.
The atta is suitable for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet and is packed in recyclable paper bags.
