About Chickpea flour

Chickpea flour, also known as gram flour or besan, is a nutrient-dense, gluten-free flour made from finely ground dried chickpeas. A staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines, it’s commonly used in dishes like pakoras, socca, and flatbreads. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like iron and folate, chickpea flour is a nutritious alternative to refined flours. Its high protein content makes it popular among vegetarians and vegans, while its fiber supports digestion and keeps you feeling full longer. Chickpea flour is also low on the glycemic index, which can help regulate blood sugar levels. Despite its health benefits, it’s important to enjoy chickpea flour in moderation as consuming it in excess may cause digestive discomfort due to its high fiber content. Versatile and flavor-packed, chickpea flour is a great addition to diverse diets.
