If wholemeal flour matters for Easter Sunday lunch, start with the ingredients rather than the colour or name of the naan: Sounas lists wholemeal flour first in its five-piece Wholemeal Naan pack and reports 6.2 g fibre per 100 g. If plain naan is an acceptable alternative, choose a pack size that suits the meal and check its allergens, date, storage and heating instructions before serving.
If wholemeal flour is your deciding factor, use the ingredient list to distinguish it from ordinary wheat flour. Compare fibre figures only when they use the same per-100-g basis; a fibre figure alone does not tell you the flour’s composition.
Piece size and flavour affect what you put on the table, while the ingredients and allergen information determine whether a particular pack meets a guest’s requirements. Check the packaging you receive, not just the product name.
Count the pieces you need, then check the pack’s date and storage instructions against your plans for Easter Sunday. Leave time and oven space for the heating method stated on that pack.
Decide whether wholemeal flour is essential before comparing serving formats: a plain naan can cover a different need, but its name does not establish wholemeal ingredients.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Wholemeal ingredients | Read the named flour in the ingredients. GOV.UK says ingredients are listed by weight, with the main ingredient first. Sounas lists wholemeal flour first; Tesco’s specified plain naan lists wheat flour. | I want wholemeal flour in the bread, rather than relying on its colour, name or fibre figure. |
| Portions and flavour | Check the number and size of naans in the pack, then whether the flavour suits the dishes. Sounas lists five wholemeal naans; Tesco lists a whole-wheat-labelled Sharwood’s four-pack of mini naans, whose ingredients need checking separately. | Smaller pieces may suit the way I’m serving lunch, but I still need to know whether the chosen recipe meets my wholemeal preference. |
| Buying ahead | Check the delivered pack’s date, integrity and storage directions. Follow its own heating instructions rather than transferring times from another naan; Tesco publishes oven and grill directions for its specified plain two-pack. | I’m buying before Easter and need the bread to keep as directed until the meal, with a heating method that fits the cooking schedule. |
| Guest requirements | Read the current ingredients and highlighted allergens on every pack. Wheat is a cereal containing gluten, according to GOV.UK’s allergen guidance; wholemeal does not mean gluten-free. | When a guest must avoid an ingredient, I need to check the particular naan I’ll serve rather than assume that plain or wholemeal describes its allergen suitability. |
Tesco’s specified plain naan reports fibre but lists wheat flour, while its listing for Sharwood’s whole-wheat-labelled mini naans does not establish the pack’s ingredient composition.
If wholemeal flour is essential, read the current ingredients first. Compare fibre values only on the same per-100-g basis.
Tesco showed the Sharwood’s whole-wheat-labelled four-pack as out of stock on the cited listing. That does not establish whether it will be available when you order for Easter.
Check the current listing and delivery arrangements when you are ready to order, then check the date on the pack you receive.
Wholemeal flour is still wheat flour. A wholemeal or vegetarian description does not establish that a naan is suitable for someone avoiding wheat or gluten.
Check each delivered pack’s ingredients and allergen information against your guests’ requirements. Seek clarification from the manufacturer if the information you need is unclear.
These examples help distinguish a documented wholemeal product from plain and flavoured formats; each product’s own label remains the basis for a final choice.
Sounas lists a five-piece Wholemeal Naan pack.
Tesco lists a Sharwood's whole-wheat-labelled four-pack of mini naans, weighing 260 g.
Tesco’s specified Plain Naans are a 260 g two-pack to consider when plain bread is acceptable.
Sainsbury's lists plain, mini plain and peshwari naan formats.
The M&S naan range includes mini plain and garlic-and-coriander options.
Waitrose lists a 220 g two-pack of plain naan.
These Humza plain naan packs are options when wholemeal flour is a preference rather than a requirement. Compare their piece counts for Easter lunch, and check the current pack if wholemeal ingredients, allergens or storage directions will determine your choice.

The 12-piece pack gives you separate plain naans to plan around a larger lunch. It is listed as plain rather than wholemeal; check the ingredients on the pack if wholemeal flour is essential.

This four-piece plain pack is another portion-count option for Easter lunch. If you are choosing by flour type or buying ahead, check its current ingredients, date and storage directions.
No. Check the current ingredient list and any declared ingredient percentage for that specific pack. GOV.UK says ingredients are listed by weight, with the main ingredient first; the listing name alone does not establish the flour proportions.
Follow the instructions on the pack you buy. Tesco gives oven and grill directions for its specified plain two-pack, with different timings depending on whether it is heated from ambient or frozen; those directions should not be applied to a different naan.
Yes, if the actual pack’s date and storage directions cover the time until you serve it. Check that the packaging is intact: Sounas says its long-life protective-atmosphere pack must remain undamaged, while Tesco gives freezing and after-opening directions for its specified plain naan.
Do not assume so: wholemeal wheat contains gluten. Check the current ingredients and allergen information, then choose a product that meets that guest’s requirements rather than inferring suitability from ‘wholemeal’ or ‘vegetarian’.
No. Tesco marked its listing for the Sharwood's whole-wheat-labelled mini four-pack as out of stock; that listing does not settle availability for a later order. Check the current product listing and delivery arrangements when you order.
