Chickpea Flour
Chickpea Flour is a finely milled flour made from ground chickpeas (also called besan or gram flour) widely used in South Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines for batters, flatbreads and thickening. It is prized for its nutty flavor and ability to bind and crisp in savory and sweet preparations. As an ingredient, Chickpea Flour is a notable plant protein source, providing about 22.4g of protein per 100 g, and it also supplies meaningful dietary fiber and B vitamins typical of pulses. Nutritionally it offers a good balance of plant protein and fiber along with micronutrients such as folate, manganese and copper, and is low in saturated fat—making it a nutrient-dense alternative to refined wheat flours in many recipes.
