India is a major producer of wheat and majority of her population depends on it but most of the nutrient requirements are not fulfilled by it.The Colored wheat is available in black, blue and purple colours and is rich in anthocyanins, a pigment found in fruits like Blueberry and Jamun. We all know the benefits of Jamun, but it is rich in sugar also and is available for only a few days in a year. On the contrary, the coloured wheat can be stored and consumed every day like normal wheat. Anthocyanins are antioxidants that remove harmful free radicals from our body and help in prevention of obesity, inflammation, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, aging etc. Black wheat- a nutraceutical product, very effective for lifestyle disorders like diabets, inflammatory disorders and obesity. It helps to manage blood cholesterol level. The plant pigment present in this wheat is anthocyanins which are very well known antioxidants.
