Lokwan wheat is a high-yielding variety of wheat that is grown in the state of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. It has a golden yellow colour and a strong aroma. Lokwan wheat is rich in protein, dietary fibre, and essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Compared to other types, these wheat grains are harder. In parts of Madhya Pradesh, Southern Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, lokwan is extensively grown. Because it contains more gluten, it is simpler to roll out larger, thinner chapatis. Making puranpolis and stuffed or plain parathas with it is highly recommended.
