Mahua Flour • Mahua Atta • Free-Flowing
Tried Mahua powder and ended up with a sticky lump instead of flour?
Mahua flowers are naturally sweet. Ground the usual way, they clump, stick and behave like a paste. That is why Mahua flour has rarely worked in everyday kitchens.
This one flows, measures and blends like a flour.
Jai Jungle Mahua Flour is made from stamen-removed Mahua flowers. A carefully controlled processing technique balances the excess surface sweetness, so the flour stays free-flowing and keeps Mahua's original aroma and character.
What Makes This Mahua Flour Different
How it is done, in short:
Balance the sweetness. Excess surface sweetness is balanced so the flour does not clump.
Keep the character. Mahua's original aroma stays.
Grind in small batches. The result is a flour you can scoop, sift and blend.
