Madhya Pradesh: Sehore's Sharbati wheat gets GI tag.
Apr 13, 2023

Madhya Pradesh’s popular Sharbati wheat, also called The Golden Grain, has bagged the Geographical Indication (GI) tag. Efforts were on to get it the GI tag for a very long time. While Sehore district is the largest producer of Sharbati wheat in the country, Madhya Pradesh is its largest producer and exporter.
 
Flour made from Sharbati wheat  is considered to be of the highest quality in the country. Farmers also get the highest level of prices for the most productive sharbati wheat in the district.
 
As the name suggests, Sharbati variety wheat is slightly sweeter in taste probably due to the presence of slightly more amount of simple sugars like glucose and sucrose as compared to other wheat varieties.
