Long wheat is essentially reddish long grained wheat from MP that is freely available in all part of the country. If one is so keen, then one must visit the local wheat miller & he can help. These are available at about 35 Rupee a KG in almost all super stores, like Spencer's, More, Reliance, D'mart etc. All one need to take a handful and grow in a pot till it germinates in about 7 /14 days & then do the rest of the processes. But even other normal wheat is not so bad & we are unnecessarily creating a hype about long wheat. In Calcutta & Mumbai both places have adequate supermarkets & local neighbourhood millers to get you the supply for your lifetime.

As per my knowledge, Long Wheat is not the popular one variety of Wheat grown in MP. It is traditionally cultivated in Karnataka, southern Maharashtra, Saurashtra region of coastal Gujarat, parts of Tamil Nadu and AP.

PLS CHECK IN BURRA BAZAAR AREA

Wheat contains the protein Gluten which accrues fat.

Please check on this I have found BS rise after wheat meal & a similar rice meal.

Please check on this. 70% of the world lives on rice so the options are yours with a lot of pranayama

I feel there are so many other options other than long wheat. There is no need to desperately search for something that is not easily available. Moreover, how will you address the long-term usage of a scarce item? My personal experience with FenuFibre is quite good.

There can be some flexibility if his diabetes is under control with medication. I do get various updated information on Diabetes control from abroad and can share with you through e-mail.

Cheers!

Going with LWMR & FenuFibre will be fine.I I fully agree with PeeGee.Get BS readings before and after going with the new style.

If the serving quantity of rice & wheat is same then BS will be also more or less. If not equal then wheat diet will increase the BS later on after digestion of protein.
