class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Window-shop at a supermarket or browse food websites today and you may be surprised by how many traditional grains have found their way back into everyday conversations. Millets have gained renewed attention, ancient wheats are appearing in home kitchens again, and consumers are becoming more curious about different grains, their flours and how they can be used. Amidst this growing interest, one question frequently arises: <strong>Is Khapli a millet or a type of wheat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The confusion is understandable. Khapli is often discussed alongside millets because both belong to older food traditions and have been cultivated in India for centuries. They also share a common story of rediscovery, with many households returning to grains that were part of regional agriculture long before their current revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, despite these similarities, <strong>Khapli is not a millet. <a href=\"https:\/\/aashirvaad.com\/blogs\/what-is-khapli-wheat.html\">It is emmer wheat<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khapli, emmer and dicoccum are names you may encounter for the same ancient type of wheat, although the botanical naming deserves a little explanation. Understanding that distinction makes it much easier to know where Khapli fits within India&#8217;s rich grain basket \u2014 and why a Khapli roti is fundamentally different from a bajra or ragi roti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick answer: Is Khapli a millet or wheat?<\/strong><br><strong>Khapli is wheat, not millet.<\/strong> Khapli is the name commonly used in parts of India for <strong>emmer wheat<\/strong>. You will often see it identified scientifically as <em>Triticum dicoccum<\/em>; current botanical classification also recognises it as <em>Triticum turgidum<\/em> subsp. <em>dicoccum<\/em>. Khapli therefore belongs to the wheat genus <em>Triticum<\/em>. Millets such as bajra, ragi, foxtail millet and little millet belong to other genera within the grass family.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Difference_Between_Khapli_Wheat_and_Millets\"><\/span>What Is the Difference Between Khapli Wheat and Millets?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although wheat and millets are all cereal grasses belonging to the family <em>Poaceae<\/em>, they are not the same group of grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Millets themselves are a diverse collection rather than one single botanical species. Common examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pearl millet or bajra<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finger millet or ragi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foxtail millet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Little millet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barnyard millet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kodo millet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proso millet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even these millets belong to several different genera. Finger millet, for example, is <em>Eleusine coracana<\/em>, while foxtail millet is <em>Setaria italica<\/em> and proso millet is <em>Panicum miliaceum<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khapli belongs to the <strong>Triticum<\/strong> group \u2014 the wheat group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That difference matters in the kitchen as well as in botany. Khapli contains gluten because it is wheat. Most familiar millets are naturally gluten-free, which is one reason millet flours behave very differently when kneaded or rolled. Khapli atta can form a wheat dough for rotis and parathas; millet flours often need different handling because they do not develop the same gluten network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Khapli_vs_Millet_At_a_Glance\"><\/span>Khapli vs Millet: At a Glance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Question<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Khapli<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Millets<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>What is it?<\/td><td>Emmer wheat<\/td><td>A diverse group of cereal grains<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Botanical group<\/td><td><em>Triticum<\/em><\/td><td>Several different genera<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Common examples\/names<\/td><td>Khapli, emmer, dicoccum<\/td><td>Bajra, ragi, foxtail, kodo, little millet<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Contains gluten?<\/td><td><strong>Yes<\/strong><\/td><td>Common food millets are naturally gluten-free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Can it make wheat-style roti dough?<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Millet dough behaves differently without gluten<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Is it an ancient\/traditional grain?<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Many millets are traditional grains too<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Is Khapli a millet?<\/td><td><strong>No<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Khapli_Wheat\"><\/span>What Is Khapli Wheat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khapli is the name commonly used in parts of India for <strong>emmer wheat<\/strong>, one of the world&#8217;s oldest cultivated wheats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the terminology can look more complicated than the grain itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Khapli<\/strong> is a familiar Indian name for the grain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emmer<\/strong> is its widely used English common name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dicoccum<\/strong> comes from its botanical nomenclature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will frequently see emmer written as <em><strong>Triticum dicoccum<\/strong><\/em> in agricultural, nutritional and food literature. Current taxonomic databases such as Kew&#8217;s Plants of the World Online treat <em>Triticum dicoccum<\/em> as a synonym of the accepted name <strong><em>Triticum turgidum<\/em> subsp. <em>dicoccum<\/em><\/strong>. In ordinary food conversations, however, \u201cKhapli\u201d, \u201cemmer\u201d and \u201cdicoccum wheat\u201d are all pointing you towards the same type of ancient wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes the simplest answer easy to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Khapli = emmer wheat.<br>Dicoccum = the botanical name you will often see attached to emmer.<br>None of them = millet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Khapli_Called_an_Ancient_Wheat\"><\/span>Why Is Khapli Called an Ancient Wheat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Archaeological evidence places emmer amongst the cereals domesticated thousands of years ago in the Fertile Crescent, the region of West Asia associated with some of the earliest agricultural societies. From there, cultivated wheats spread across different parts of Europe, North Africa and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/millets\/is-ragi-good-for-you-benefits-nutrition-uses\/\">ALSO READ | Is Ragi Good for You? What This Everyday Millet Really Offers<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phrase <strong>\u201cancient wheat\u201d<\/strong> is therefore not simply a wellness label attached to Khapli. Emmer is genuinely one of the older cultivated forms of wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other wheats commonly discussed under the ancient-wheat umbrella include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Einkorn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emmer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spelt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Khorasan wheat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single scientific definition that makes \u201cancient grain\u201d a nutritional category, so the term should not be read as automatically meaning healthier or nutritionally superior. It is most useful here as a description of the grain&#8217;s agricultural history. Research reviews likewise note that \u201cancient wheat\u201d is a commonly used term rather than a tightly defined scientific classification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In India, Khapli has remained particularly associated with traditional wheat-growing areas of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Aashirvaad, for instance, currently sources the Khapli used for its Namma Chakki atta from farmers in these two states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Khapli_Gluten-Free_Like_Millet\"><\/span>Is Khapli Gluten-Free Like Millet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No \u2014 and this is perhaps the most important practical distinction to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Khapli contains gluten because Khapli is wheat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is sometimes promoted alongside millet, and ancient wheats are occasionally described loosely as \u201clow gluten\u201d. Neither fact makes Khapli gluten-free. Reviews comparing ancient and modern wheat do not support treating ancient wheats as inherently safe alternatives for people who need to avoid gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone with coeliac disease or a medically diagnosed wheat allergy should therefore <strong>not<\/strong> use Khapli as a substitute for gluten-free grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Millets such as ragi, bajra and several small millets are naturally gluten-free. That distinction affects both dietary suitability and what happens when their flours enter the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Aashirvaad_Chakki_100_Khapli_Atta\"><\/span>What Is Aashirvaad Chakki 100% Khapli Atta?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aashirvaad Chakki 100% Khapli Atta is made entirely from Khapli wheat rather than a blend of Khapli and modern wheat. The brand uses a Chakki Jaisi Pisai process designed to retain the grain&#8217;s bran and germ rather than refining them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means the atta can slip into many of the same preparations for which a household would ordinarily use whole-wheat flour \u2014 rotis, phulkas, parathas and other wheat-based dishes \u2014 while bringing Khapli&#8217;s characteristic flavour to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/web-stories\/foxtail-kodo-sanwa-5-millets-to-know\/\">ALSO READ | Foxtail, Kodo, Millet: 5 Lesser-Known Indian Millets To Try<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does <strong>not<\/strong>, however, become a millet flour simply because it sits on the shelf beside ragi, bajra or other heritage-grain products. The grain inside the pack remains emmer wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Have_to_Choose_Between_Khapli_and_Millets\"><\/span>Do You Have to Choose Between Khapli and Millets?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indian food traditions have rarely depended on one grain doing every job in the kitchen. A week&#8217;s meals can easily move between Khapli rotis, bajra bhakri, ragi dosa, foxtail millet upma and rice, alongside different vegetables, pulses, dairy, eggs or other protein foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That diversity introduces different textures, flavours and cooking traditions without requiring one grain to be declared the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the useful question isn&#8217;t <strong>\u201cKhapli or millet?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can just as easily be <strong>\u201cWhere does each one fit?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khapli works naturally wherever a wheat-based dough is useful. Millets bring their own cooking characteristics and regional preparations. Rotating between them according to preference, recipe and availability can make the week&#8217;s meals much more interesting than treating any one grain as a mandatory replacement for everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Khapli_and_Millet_Together_A_Ragi-Khapli_Vegetable_Cheela\"><\/span>Khapli and Millet Together: A Ragi-Khapli Vegetable Cheela<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good things come to those who wait, and since you now possess adequate knowledge about Khapli wheat and millet, here is one delicious way to celebrate their <em>jugalbandi<\/em> in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Khapli_and_Ragi_Vegetable_Cheela\"><\/span>Khapli and Ragi Vegetable Cheela<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This savoury cheela combines <strong>Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta<\/strong> with ragi or finger-millet flour to create a hearty, lightly crisp pancake packed with colourful vegetables. It makes a satisfying breakfast or evening snack and pairs beautifully with coconut chutney or tomato relish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One important distinction before you begin: although ragi itself is gluten-free, <strong>this cheela is not gluten-free because it also contains Khapli wheat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients\"><\/span>Ingredients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Makes 6\u20138 cheelas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd cup ragi flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 small carrot, grated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bc cup finely chopped capsicum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 green chilli, finely chopped, optional<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp grated ginger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd tsp cumin seeds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt to taste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Approximately 2 cups water, or as needed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\u20132 tsp oil for cooking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method\"><\/span>Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mix the Khapli atta, ragi flour, cumin and salt in a bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the grated carrot, capsicum, coriander, ginger and green chilli.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gradually whisk in enough water to form a smooth, pourable batter without lumps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the batter rest for about 20 minutes so the flours have time to hydrate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat a non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron tawa and lightly grease it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour a ladleful of batter onto the centre and spread gently into a thin circle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and cook over medium heat until the underside is lightly browned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flip carefully and cook the other side until fully cooked and lightly crisp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve immediately with coriander chutney, coconut chutney or a bowl of plain curd.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span>The Bottom Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, is Khapli a millet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No. Khapli is wheat \u2014 specifically emmer wheat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is often grouped with millets in conversations about heritage grains because both have long agricultural histories and both are enjoying renewed interest. Botanically and culinarily, however, they are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khapli belongs to the wheat genus <em>Triticum<\/em> and contains gluten. Bajra, ragi, foxtail, kodo, little millet and other millets belong to other botanical groups and bring their own characteristics to the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the terms <strong>Khapli, emmer and dicoccum<\/strong> makes the shelf considerably easier to navigate. They aren&#8217;t three competing grains. They are different names or classifications attached to the same ancient wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether prepared as soft rotis, parathas, theplas or simple homemade baked goods, Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta connects an old wheat tradition with the contemporary Indian kitchen. It doesn&#8217;t need to replace millets to earn its place there. It can comfortably share the dining table with rice, bajra, ragi and other whole grains as part of a varied diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Khapli_a_millet\"><\/span>Is Khapli a millet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Khapli is <strong>emmer wheat<\/strong>, not a millet. It belongs to the wheat genus <em>Triticum<\/em>, while millets such as ragi, bajra and foxtail millet belong to other genera within the grass family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Khapli_the_same_as_emmer_wheat\"><\/span>Is Khapli the same as emmer wheat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Khapli is a name commonly used in India for emmer wheat. In food and agricultural contexts, Khapli wheat and emmer wheat refer to the same grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_dicoccum_the_same_as_Khapli\"><\/span>Is dicoccum the same as Khapli?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, in this context. Emmer is frequently identified as <em>Triticum dicoccum<\/em>. Current Kew taxonomy accepts <em>Triticum turgidum<\/em> subsp. <em>dicoccum<\/em> and treats <em>Triticum dicoccum<\/em> as a synonym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Khapli_gluten-free\"><\/span>Is Khapli gluten-free?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Khapli is wheat and therefore <strong>contains gluten<\/strong>. It is not suitable as a gluten-free grain for people with coeliac disease or those who medically need to avoid wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_main_difference_between_Khapli_and_millet\"><\/span>What is the main difference between Khapli and millet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khapli is a type of wheat and contains gluten. \u201cMillet\u201d describes several different cereal grains, including ragi, bajra, foxtail millet and kodo millet, which are botanically different from wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Khapli_an_ancient_grain\"><\/span>Is Khapli an ancient grain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, emmer is one of the oldest cultivated wheats and is commonly described as an ancient wheat. The term refers primarily to its agricultural history; it should not be taken to mean that every ancient grain is automatically nutritionally superior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Khapli_and_millet_flour_be_mixed_together\"><\/span>Can Khapli and millet flour be mixed together?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Their flours can be combined in preparations such as cheelas, rotis or other mixed-grain recipes. Remember that adding Khapli makes the finished preparation <strong>gluten-containing<\/strong>, even if the millet flour itself is gluten-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Khapli_atta_be_used_like_regular_wheat_atta\"><\/span>Can Khapli atta be used like regular wheat atta?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many everyday preparations, yes. Khapli atta can be used for rotis, parathas, theplas and other wheat-based recipes, although its hydration and dough behaviour may differ somewhat from the regular atta a household is accustomed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong><em>: This article provides general food and nutrition information and is not a substitute for personalised medical or dietary advice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sources\"><\/span>Sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/powo.science.kew.org\/\">Plants of the World Online<\/a>:<\/strong> current taxonomy of emmer as <em>Triticum turgidum<\/em> subsp. <em>dicoccum<\/em>, with <em>Triticum dicoccum<\/em> listed as a synonym.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icrisat.org\/\">ICRISAT<\/a>:<\/strong> botanical descriptions of small millets including ragi, foxtail, proso, barnyard, kodo and little millet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/repository.rothamsted.ac.uk\/id\/eprint\/31937\/1\/Brouns%20et%20al%202022%20Nutrition%20Bulletin.pdf\">Brouns et al., <em>Nutrition Bulletin<\/em> (2022)<\/a>:<\/strong> review of gluten in ancient wheats including emmer and the problems with assuming ancient wheat is inherently \u201clow-gluten\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khapli is often grouped with millets because both are traditional grains enjoying a revival.
