For a brunch where naan matters, choose by the bread’s own ingredients and labelled fibre per 100g, then pick mini or larger pieces to suit how you will serve them. Tesco Groceries describes Hovis Best of Both as a white-and-wholemeal sliced loaf, not a naan, so its flour blend cannot be assumed for a naan with a similar description. Check the chosen pack’s allergen and heating instructions as well.
Who is this for?
Shoppers comparing flour and fibre
If a white-and-wholemeal blend matters to you, look for it in the naan’s ingredients. If you are comparing labelled fibre instead, use the same per-100g basis across packs; added wheat fibre does not establish a wholemeal flour blend.
Hosts serving several brunch dishes
Mini naans offer individual pieces alongside other food, while larger naans may suit a different serving plan. Check the pack count, heating directions and storage instructions for the product you choose.
Hosts catering for allergies
Check the current ingredients, allergen statements and any precautionary warnings against each guest’s requirements. A plain or vegan description alone does not establish allergy suitability.
What should you check?
Decide whether the flour blend or the labelled fibre figure matters to your choice, then work out the portions and preparation your brunch needs.

What to check |
Your needs |
| Flour blend |
Read the flour ingredients on the specific naan. Do not transfer a blend claim from a differently named bread: Tesco Groceries describes Hovis Best of Both as a white-and-wholemeal sliced loaf. |
If I want naan made with wholemeal flour, I need that ingredient identified on the naan itself. |
| Fibre figures |
Compare labelled grams of fibre per 100g, then check the figure for the amount you plan to serve. M&S lists 4.8g per 100g for its Mini Plain Naans; Tesco Groceries lists 4.3g per 100g for its Plain Naan Bread 2 Pack. |
I want a comparable fibre figure without treating added wheat fibre as proof of wholemeal flour. |
| Portions and heating |
Check piece count and weight before planning servings. Follow the heating directions for the exact pack; Tesco Groceries gives oven and grill directions for its plain two-pack, while Sainsbury's lists grill directions for its mini naans. |
With several dishes on the table, I may prefer individual mini naans; for another serving plan, larger pieces may fit better. |
| Allergens |
Read the current ingredient list and precautionary statements. Sainsbury's warns that its Mini Plain Naan is not suitable for customers with a milk allergy because of manufacturing methods; ASDA lists a separate Free From plain naan. |
If a guest needs to avoid a particular allergen, I need to assess the exact recipe and its label rather than rely on the word “plain”. |
| Leftovers |
Match the pack count to the planned servings, then read its opened-pack and freezing directions. Tesco Groceries says to use its plain two-pack within one day of opening; ASDA gives a 24-hour opened-pack period for its plain two-pack. |
If some naans may be left over, I want a pack size and storage directions that fit when we will eat them. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming “Best of Both” describes a naan recipe
Tesco Groceries identifies the white-and-wholemeal Best of Both product as a sliced loaf. That description does not establish the ingredients of a naan.
Check the naan’s own flour ingredients; if the practical aim is to compare fibre, use its labelled per-100g figure.
-
Comparing fibre per piece across different sizes
A mini naan and a larger naan are different serving amounts, so per-piece figures do not make a like-for-like comparison.
Compare fibre per 100g first, then use each pack’s per-naan information to plan servings.
-
Assuming plain or vegan means allergen-free
ASDA lists wheat in its vegan-labelled plain naan, and Sainsbury's gives a milk-allergy manufacturing warning for its mini plain naan.
Read the current label for the exact product against the needs of anyone who will eat it.
Brand and product-line references
These details concern the named retailer listings, not every naan made or sold under each brand.
M&S
Its listed Mini Plain Naans provide individual pieces for a brunch spread.
- M&S lists wheat fibre among the ingredients and 4.8g fibre per 100g.
- Check the current pack if a white-and-wholemeal flour blend is important; the listed wheat fibre alone does not establish one.
Tesco
Its listed Plain Naan Bread 2 Pack offers a two-piece alternative to mini naans.
- Tesco Groceries lists wheat fibre, 4.3g fibre per 100g, and oven and grill directions for this product.
- Wheat fibre in the ingredients is not, by itself, a claim that the flour is a white-and-wholemeal blend.
Sainsbury's
Its listed four-pack of Mini Plain Naan offers individual pieces.
- Sainsbury's gives fibre figures per naan and per 100g, as well as grill directions.
- The listing warns that this product is not suitable for customers with a milk allergy because of manufacturing methods.
ASDA
Its listed plain two-pack and separate Free From plain two-pack serve different ingredient requirements.
- ASDA labels the plain two-pack suitable for vegans; it labels the separate Free From product free from gluten, milk and egg.
- These are different recipes. Check the exact pack rather than applying either product’s claims to the other.
Waitrose
Its listed Plain Naan is a two-pack.
- Waitrose & Partners lists 3.7g fibre per 100g and describes the product as suitable for freezing.
- Its listing says to consume the naans within one day of opening; check the current pack when planning leftovers.

Questions about brunch naan
Does “Best of Both” mean a naan contains equal amounts of white and wholemeal flour?
No: the name alone does not establish a naan’s recipe. Tesco Groceries describes Hovis Best of Both as a white-and-wholemeal sliced loaf; check the naan’s own ingredients for its flour composition.
How do I compare fibre in mini and larger naans?
Compare the labelled grams per 100g first, then check the per-naan or serving figure for the amount you intend to put on the table. Added wheat fibre does not necessarily mean the naan is made with wholemeal flour.
Can I heat naan before guests arrive?
Use the directions for the pack you choose rather than one method for all naans. Tesco Groceries gives oven and grill directions for its plain two-pack; Sainsbury's gives grill directions for its mini naans and says not to reheat them once cooled.
What should I do with leftover naan?
Follow the chosen product’s opened-pack and freezing directions. Tesco Groceries says to use its plain two-pack within one day of opening, while ASDA gives a 24-hour opened-pack period and separate freezing instructions for its plain two-pack.
Does plain or vegan naan automatically suit someone with an allergy?
No. Check the current label against the person’s specific requirements: ASDA’s vegan-labelled plain naan contains wheat, while Sainsbury's lists a milk-allergy manufacturing warning for its Mini Plain Naan.
