Flour made from Sharbati wheat is considered to be of the highest quality in the country. Farmers also get the highest level of prices for the most productive sharbati wheat in the district.
As the name suggests, Sharbati variety wheat is slightly sweeter in taste probably due to the presence of slightly more amount of simple sugars like glucose and sucrose as compared to other wheat varieties.
