Whole [[common wheat]] ([[Triticum aestivum]]) is used commonly to make atta, has high [[gluten]] content which provides elasticity, so [[dough]] made out of atta flour is strong and can be rolled into thin sheets.<ref name="Bakerpedia" /><ref>[http://www.food-india.com/ingredients/i026_i050/i048.htm Atta - Indian Wholewheat Flour (Food-india.com)]</ref>

The word ‘whole’ is used to describe atta as it includes every aspect of the grain, meaning the bran, germ and the endosperm.

In India, about 80% of the 94 million tons of wheat produced is processed mainly into atta by disc mills numbering 4 lakhs.

Atta was traditionally [[Mill (grinding)|ground]] in the home on a stone chakki mill. This is useful when using a [[tandoor]], where the flatbread is stuck to the inside of the oven, and also makes chapatis softer as the dough absorbs more water.<ref name="Bakerpedia" /><ref name="Mollenhauer and Popper" />
