White-and-wholemeal naan shoppers
Look for both wheat flour and wholemeal wheat flour in the ingredients. Warburtons lists both for its 4 Naan Flatbreads, but the ingredient blend and the fibre figure answer different questions.
Who is each option for?
The useful distinction is whether you care most about the flour blend, the declared fibre figure or how the bread will be served.
Shoppers comparing fibre figures
Compare labels on a per-100 g basis, whether the naan is blended, wholemeal or plain. Warburtons declares 1.8 g fibre per 100 g for its blended flatbreads; Sounas declares 6.2 g per 100 g for its Wholemeal Naan. These are figures for the cited products, not their categories as a whole.
Takeaway-night sharers
Choose the number and size of pieces to suit the people eating. ASDA lists a six-piece mini-naan pack, while Sainsbury’s lists two plain naans; check the chosen pack’s heating and storage directions when planning the meal.
What should you check before choosing?
Start with whether you want bread alongside the takeaway at all, then compare flour ingredients, label figures and pack format.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Flour and fibre | Read the flour ingredients, then compare declared fibre per 100 g. Warburtons lists wheat and wholemeal wheat flour in its 4 Naan Flatbreads and declares 1.8 g fibre per 100 g; Sounas lists wholemeal flour and declares 6.2 g per 100 g for its Wholemeal Naan. | I want both flours in my naan—or I care more about the stated fibre figure than the word “wholemeal” on its own. |
| Meal and portions | Decide whether naan suits the dishes you have ordered. If it does, compare pieces per pack and per-piece information: ASDA lists six mini naans, while Sainsbury’s lists two plain naans. | We may want individual small pieces rather than dividing larger naans. If nobody particularly wants bread, I can choose a different side instead. |
| Allergens | Check the current bread packaging and ask the takeaway about its dishes separately. Warburtons specifically warns that its 4 Naan Flatbreads are unsuitable for someone with a sesame allergy. | An allergy or dietary restriction means I need information for both the naan and the takeaway food, not an assumption based on one item. |
| Heating and storage | Follow the selected pack’s heating method and check its directions for an opened pack or freezing. ASDA states that its cited mini naans should be consumed within 24 hours of opening; that period does not describe other naans. | I’m buying ahead, or expect leftovers, so the pack’s storage instructions matter as much as getting the bread ready with the meal. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming a flour blend means more fibre
A blend describes ingredients, not a fixed nutritional result. Warburtons declares 1.8 g fibre per 100 g for its white-and-wholemeal flatbreads, compared with Sounas’s 6.2 g per 100 g for its Wholemeal Naan.
Check the ingredients if the blend matters to you, and the per-100 g fibre declaration if you are comparing fibre.
-
Treating every naan as interchangeable for allergies
Warburtons says its 4 Naan Flatbreads are unsuitable for someone with a sesame allergy. The takeaway dishes need their own allergen check.
Use the current naan pack’s information and ask the takeaway about each relevant dish.
-
Choosing by pack count alone
Six mini naans and two standard-sized naans divide differently between diners. Storage directions also matter if some pieces will be left over.
Compare piece size, pack count and the selected product’s opened-pack instructions before buying.

Questions about naan for takeaway night
Does wholemeal flour in a naan always mean more fibre?
No: compare the declared fibre on the same per-100 g basis. Warburtons lists 1.8 g per 100 g for its blended 4 Naan Flatbreads, while Sainsbury’s lists 3.6 g per 100 g for its cited plain naan. Those figures describe the particular products, not every blended or plain naan.
How should I heat naan when the takeaway arrives?
Follow the directions on the pack you bought. For its cited plain naan, Sainsbury’s specifies a preheated oven at 200°C, or 180°C fan, for 3–4 minutes from chilled; another naan may have different instructions.
Can I buy naan ahead of takeaway night?
Yes, if the chosen pack’s date and storage directions fit your plans. ASDA states that its cited mini naans should be consumed within 24 hours once opened and provides separate freezing instructions; check the directions for any other pack individually.
Is checking the naan pack enough when an allergy matters?
No. Check the current naan packaging and obtain allergen information for the takeaway dishes separately. Warburtons specifically warns that its 4 Naan Flatbreads are unsuitable for someone with a sesame allergy; that warning does not describe every naan or the rest of the meal.
