Choose the number and size of naans your household will use, then compare the named flours and fibre per 100 g if you want to balance familiar plain naan with a wholemeal option. A brown colour or an added wheat-fibre ingredient does not, by itself, establish that a naan contains wholemeal flour. Check the current pack’s ingredients, allergens and storage instructions for everyone eating.
Compare the flour ingredients and fibre per 100 g rather than judging by colour. Sounas lists wholemeal flour in its naan; Tesco lists wheat flour and wheat fibre in its checked plain naan. Those ingredient lists describe different products, not a verified blended-flour option.
Piece count matters alongside size and the meals planned. Tesco lists plain naans in a two-pack and mini plain naans in a six-pack, while Sounas lists five wholemeal naans. Check the chosen pack’s opened-pack instructions if it will cover more than one meal.
Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact product. Tesco’s checked plain naan lists wheat ingredients; ASDA labels its Free From plain naan gluten-free and milk-free. A plain or wholemeal description alone does not answer a specific dietary question.
Start with the portions needed for the meal, then use the ingredient list and comparable per-100 g figures to choose between plain and wholemeal naan. Treat any proposed white-and-wholemeal compromise as a recipe to check, not something its colour or description proves.
| Priority | What to check | My needs |
|---|---|---|
| Flour and fibre | Read the named flours, then compare fibre per 100 g on the same basis. Sounas labels its wholemeal naan at 6.2 g fibre per 100 g; Tesco labels its checked plain naan at 4.3 g per 100 g. These are product-label figures, not independent test results. | I want to know whether a naan actually contains wholemeal flour, rather than relying on its colour or a mention of wheat fibre. |
| Portions and storage | Check piece count, net weight and the instructions after opening. Tesco lists two plain naans or six mini plain naans; Sounas lists five wholemeal naans. Tesco instructs shoppers to use its checked plain naan within one day of opening. | Will the pieces suit everyone eating, and can we use the opened pack within its stated instructions? |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the exact pack for relevant ingredients and allergen information. Tesco’s checked plain naan lists wheat ingredients; ASDA’s Free From plain naan is labelled gluten-free and milk-free. | Someone eating with us needs a particular ingredient checked, so a general description such as “plain” is not enough. |
Tesco’s checked plain naan lists wheat fibre but not wholemeal flour; Sounas explicitly lists wholemeal flour in its wholemeal naan.
Read the flour ingredients and compare fibre per 100 g if both flour type and fibre matter to your choice.
A six-pack of mini naans and a two-pack of plain naans provide different piece sizes. Tesco also instructs shoppers to use its checked plain naan within one day of opening.
Plan how many pieces to serve and when you will open each pack; follow that product’s storage instructions.
Opening more bread than the household can use or store as directed may leave some unused.
Tesco’s checked plain naan contains wheat ingredients, whereas ASDA’s Free From plain naan has a different recipe and is labelled gluten-free and milk-free.
Check the current packaging against each eater’s ingredient and allergen needs.

The twelve-piece plain pack gives a household portions to plan across a meal or several meals. Check the pack’s flour ingredients, fibre per 100 g and storage instructions if those details affect your choice.
No image available
This twelve-piece pack is a garlic-and-coriander choice when that flavour suits the meals planned. Check its flour ingredients and fibre declaration separately if you are comparing it with wholemeal naan.
No image available
The four-piece plain pack is worth comparing with the twelve-piece packs when planning how many naans to serve or open at once. Check the current pack for flour ingredients, fibre and storage instructions.
Not necessarily. Tesco’s checked plain naan lists wheat flour and wheat fibre, while Sounas lists wholemeal flour in its wholemeal naan. Read the named flours on the product you intend to buy; neither listing establishes a specific white-and-wholemeal blend.
Follow the cooking directions on the pack you are serving. Check whether its instructions differ for naan heated from frozen rather than applying another product’s timing.
Check the particular pack first. Tesco labels its checked plain naan suitable for freezing, and ASDA provides freezing instructions for its Free From naan; follow the instructions for the product you choose.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact naan against that person’s needs. Tesco’s checked plain naan lists wheat ingredients, while ASDA’s Free From plain naan is labelled gluten-free and milk-free; the word “plain” alone does not establish dietary suitability.
