Wheat Idiyappam

Share

Wheat idiyappam is a bit unique as far as idiyappam is concerned. Traditional idiyappam is prepared using rice flour, which is responsible for its traditional white coloring. Wheat idiyappam is naturally made using wheat flour, which can affect its coloring if you use whole wheat flour (you should be using whole wheat flour – it is healthier). Brown idiyappam may seem strange at first, but it tastes just as great as traditional idiyappam.

Health Benefits

Wheat has gotten a pretty bad reputation lately. This is unfortunate because wheat is actually one of the best grains to include in your diet, so long as it is whole wheat. Wheats bad reputation comes from the rise in processed flour. Whole wheat has dietary fiber and protein which makes it extremely beneficial to consume. Wheat products made from processed flour are essentially empty calories because they don’t have any nutrients your body can use.
