Contact SupplierMaida is widely used not only in Indian cuisine but also used in central Asian and south Asian cuisine. Maida is the refined flour of wheat flour which makes it less nutritious. The whole wheat flour contains the outer brown layer which Maida doesn’t contain.Â
That is the reason, wheat flour is considered more nutritious than Maida flour. But there are some recipes which cannot made without Maida like pastries, Naan, Kulcha and other Indian snacks.
In these food items, wheat flour cannot be used as it will not give that crisp taste which Maida flour can give. Maida flour is superior in taste and quality which is also affordable and can be stored for longer durations. Maida flour is popular amongst confectionery shops, hotels, bakeries etc.Â
