Maida atta typically refers to all-purpose flour in India. It is a finely milled flour made from wheat grains, where the bran and germ have been removed during processing. Here are a few key points about Maida Atta (1 Kg):

1. Usage: Maida atta is versatile and commonly used in baking cakes, pastries, biscuits, cookies, and other baked goods. It’s also used in making bread, noodles, and some Indian sweets.
2. Texture: It has a fine texture and high gluten content, which gives baked goods a soft and fluffy texture when compared to whole wheat flour.
3. Processing: Unlike whole wheat flour, maida atta undergoes a refining process where the outer layers of the wheat kernel (bran and germ) are removed. This results in a lighter texture and neutral flavor.
4. Nutritional Value: Maida atta is lower in fiber and nutrients compared to whole wheat flour because it lacks the fiber-rich bran and nutrient-rich germ of the wheat grain.
5. Availability: It is widely available in grocery stores and supermarkets in India and is a common ingredient in both commercial baking and home cooking.
