We get asked for bigger bags regularly, usually by people trying to save on shipping. The answer is no, and the reason is arithmetic rather than principle.
The problem
Freshly milled whole wheat is at its best for roughly 30 to 45 days. Millet flours, less. A family of four gets through about 10 to 12 kg a month if roti is on the table twice a day.
So a 25 kg sack is somewhere between two and five months of flour, depending on the household. The last third of that sack is past its best before anyone reaches it. You would have paid a premium for freshness and then stored it until it was ordinary.
Why the industry does sell them
Because packaged atta is engineered for exactly this. Longer shelf life is a genuine feature when flour has to survive a supply chain and a stockroom. A 50 kg sack makes complete sense for a product built to last nine months.
It makes no sense at all for ours. Same grain, different product.
What to do instead
- Work out your actual monthly usage — start a fresh pack on the first, note the date it runs out. Most households have never measured this.
- Order that amount, on repeat. The monthly plan exists for precisely this rhythm.
- Cross the free-shipping threshold with variety, not volume. Two grains you will finish beats one sack you will not.
The uncomfortable part
Bigger orders would be better for our margins. Telling you to buy less, more often, costs us money on every order. We would still rather do that than sell you flour that is mediocre by the time you reach the bottom of the bag.
