Shoppers seeking a flour blend
If having both wheat flour and wholemeal wheat flour in one naan matters to you, the ingredient list is more useful than a name such as “best of both”. Warburtons lists both flours for its 4 Naan Flatbreads.
Who is this for?
Households planning portions and leftovers
Compare the number of naans you need for breakfast with the pack size. If you plan to keep some for another day, check the storage instructions on that particular pack.
Shoppers checking allergens
Ingredients differ between naan recipes. Check the exact pack’s ingredients and allergen information before serving, particularly if wheat, soya or milk is relevant to anyone eating it.
What to check before buying
Start with the flour ingredients if a blend is the reason for buying; then choose a flavour and pack format that suit the breakfast you have planned.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Flour blend | Look for both wheat flour and wholemeal wheat flour in the ingredients. If fibre matters to your comparison, use the declared value per 100g or per serving; the presence of both flours does not establish their proportions. | I’m looking for a naan that actually lists both flours, not one whose name or colour merely suggests a blend. |
| Pack and storage | Count the naans and compare pack weights. Check the exact pack for freezing and reheating instructions; Waitrose marks its 2 Tandoori Plain Naans suitable for freezing. | A two-piece pack may cover this breakfast, while a larger pack makes sense only if I have a plan for the remaining naans. |
| Flavour | Choose between plain and a named flavour such as garlic and coriander. Read the ingredient list if toppings or dips are already planned. | I’d choose plain naan when I want to decide on the breakfast flavours myself, or a flavoured naan when it suits what I’m serving. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact variety. Warburtons lists wheat and soya for its 4 Naan Flatbreads; the cited Sharwood’s garlic-and-coriander naan lists wheat and milk. | When an allergen matters to someone at breakfast, I need to check the specific recipe rather than assume two naans have the same ingredients. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Reading “best of both” as a 50/50 recipe
Warburtons lists wheat flour and wholemeal wheat flour in its 4 Naan Flatbreads, but the cited ingredient list does not state their proportions.
Confirm both flours in the ingredients, then use the nutrition panel if the declared fibre amount affects your choice.
-
Choosing a flavoured naan without checking the recipe
Garlic and coriander may not suit every planned topping. Allergen ingredients can also differ: the cited Sharwood’s garlic-and-coriander naan lists milk and wheat.
Match the flavour to what you intend to serve, and check the ingredients and allergens on that exact pack.
-
Assuming every naan has the same freezer instructions
Waitrose marks its 2 Tandoori Plain Naans suitable for freezing, but that statement applies to that product rather than every naan.
Before keeping leftovers for another breakfast, follow the storage and reheating directions on your pack.
Relevant brands and retailers
Warburtons
A manufacturer to check when both wheat flour and wholemeal wheat flour are part of the buying decision.
- Warburtons lists both flours in the ingredients for its 4 Naan Flatbreads.
- That ingredient list does not state the proportion of each flour; it lists wheat and soya.
Tesco
A retailer with plain, mini and flavoured naan options in its UK naan category.
- Tesco lists Plain Naans 2 Pack 260g, a format to consider for a smaller breakfast.
- Check an individual product’s ingredients if you need a specified wheat-and-wholemeal blend.
Waitrose
A retailer to consider for a two-piece plain naan pack.
- Waitrose describes its 2 Tandoori Plain Naans as 2 x 130g and suitable for freezing.
- The plain tandoori description does not establish a white-and-wholemeal flour blend; check the ingredients if that is your aim.

Frequently asked questions
Does a naan made with wheat and wholemeal flour contain equal amounts of each?
Not necessarily. Warburtons lists both flours for its 4 Naan Flatbreads, but its cited ingredient list does not give a ratio, so it should not be treated as a confirmed 50/50 recipe.
Does “wholemeal” tell me how much fibre a naan contains?
No. Check the declared fibre value on the product’s nutrition panel if you want to compare naans per 100g or per serving; the flour description alone does not establish that value.
Can I freeze naan for another weekend breakfast?
Follow the directions on the exact pack. Waitrose marks its 2 Tandoori Plain Naans suitable for freezing, but its instructions should not be assumed to apply to another product.
Which allergens should I check in naan?
Read the exact pack’s ingredients and allergen information. Warburtons lists wheat and soya for its 4 Naan Flatbreads, while the cited Sharwood’s garlic-and-coriander naan lists wheat and milk; neither declaration describes every naan.
Should I choose plain naan for sweet or savoury toppings?
Plain naan leaves the flavour choice to your toppings, whereas garlic-and-coriander naan already has a named savoury flavour. Choose according to what you plan to serve, and check the particular product’s ingredients and allergens.
