  Hi,
  
  Don't know about the best brand of atta, as I don't live in the US.
  
  But about the addition of Soya Flour - I have been informed by a dietician that the flour is usually made directly from the soya bean and that makes it hard to digest. So it lands up doing more harm than good. It is better to include soya in ur diet in the form of milk, tofu, roasted nuts etc.
  
  Since I have been told this, I add (sprouted) ragi flour to my wheat flour in 3:1 ratio (w:r). It is good for phulkas, parathas & chapattis (though the phulkas may come out a bit thicker than usual).
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  PS: Ragi contains about 6.7 % protein. Ragi protein is reported to be of good quality. Ragi is rich in methonine, which is an aminoacid lacking in most of the other cereals. Ragi is also found to have liberal amount of calcium. (Fm Bawarchi website)

  I like Nirav atta. It usually always fresh.
