About Farinata

Farinata is a savory, gluten-free flatbread made primarily from chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and a touch of salt. Originating from Ligurian cuisine in Italy, it is traditionally baked in a wood-fired oven and served warm with a golden, crisp exterior and soft interior. Chickpea flour, the star ingredient, is rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, making farinata a nutritious option for vegetarians and those seeking gluten-free alternatives. Olive oil adds healthy fats to the dish, contributing to heart health when consumed in moderation. While farinata is naturally low in carbohydrates and sugars, serving size matters, as its caloric content can increase with added toppings like cheese or meats. Simple, flavorful, and nourishing, farinata is a testament to healthy and wholesome Mediterranean cooking.
