About Chickpea Flour

Chickpea flour, also known as gram flour or besan, is a versatile flour made from ground chickpeas. It is a staple in gluten-free baking, prized for its ability to impart structure and binding properties, making it an essential ingredient for quick breads and other baked goods. Its flavor profile is earthy and slightly nutty, which adds depth to recipes. Chickpea flour is favored in baking due to its high protein content and ability to produce a tender crumb, while also being naturally gluten-free, vegan, and allergen-friendly.
