About Gram flour

Gram flour, also known as chickpea flour or besan, is a nutritious and versatile ingredient made from ground dried chickpeas. It is a staple in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, commonly used in dishes like pakoras, falafel, and savory pancakes. Rich in protein and fiber, gram flour is a great option for plant-based diets, helping to support muscle health and digestion. It is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Additionally, it is packed with vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. While gram flour is lower in carbohydrates compared to wheat flour, it is dense in calories, so portion control is important. Its nutty flavor and smooth texture make it an excellent base for both sweet and savory recipes, contributing to a balanced and health-conscious diet.
