Chickpea flour

Chickpea flour, also known as gram flour or besan, is a type of flour made from ground dried chickpeas. Chickpeas are a type of legume, and the flour is a popular ingredient in many cuisines around the world. It is commonly used in dishes from India, the Middle East, and Mediterranean regions.

To make chickpea flour, dried chickpeas are ground into a fine powder. The process involves milling the chickpeas until they reach the desired consistency. This flour has a slightly nutty flavour and is naturally gluten-free, making it a versatile and healthy alternative to wheat flour for those with gluten sensitivities.

Chickpea flour is often used in recipes as a gluten-free baking ingredient. It can be found in dishes like flatbreads, pancakes, and savoury snacks. The flour adds a distinct flavour and helps bind ingredients together, creating a crispy texture in foods like pakoras or socca, a type of chickpea flour pancake. Look for chickpea flour in the baking aisle or specialty food section of grocery stores.
