About Besan
Besan, also known as gram flour, is a versatile and nutrient-rich ingredient made from ground chickpeas. It is commonly used in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisines, forming the base for dishes like pakoras, chilla, and various curry thickeners. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and B6, besan is an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. It is naturally gluten-free, making it a useful alternative for those with gluten sensitivities. Besan is low on the glycemic index, which aids in managing blood sugar levels, and its high fiber content promotes digestive health. However, while besan is nutritious, moderation is key as dishes made with it can sometimes be deep-fried or paired with calorie-dense ingredients. Incorporating besan into your diet can enhance nutrient intake and diversify your meals in a healthy way.
