Flat breads like chapatti, roti, naan, paratha etc. are staple food for most of the South Asian communities no matter where they are living in the world. Easy availability of nutritious and safe flat breads can facilitate fulfillment of nutritional requirements among South Asians.
To fulfil this need NFP is launching a pilot project to assess feasibility of mass production and hybrid sale of various types of flat breads in Pakistan and other countries where South Asian communities reside. The project is conceived by Professor Dr. Rubina Hakeem, an internationally renowned nutrition expert guided and supported by a team of competent experts.
Most of the breads would have a higher content of specific nutrient as compared to regular wheat bread but none are claimed to be functional foods. Each would support the fulfilment of nutritional requirements in various conditions. Additional nutrition will be attained by adding suitable food items and not by any chemicals. Bread would be sold as fresh and packaged food. Packaged ones may have preservatives as allowed by FDA and local laws.
All breads will be available at specific outlets and via online orders
Type of bread to be sold would includes:
Nutri-chapatti: designed to fulfil more than 70% requirements of most of the essential macro and micronutrients if it is eaten as the sole source of satiating hunger.
High protein roti: It will have more than 50% higher proteins as compared to regular wheat bread. (Jandar)
