Organic Besan Flour
$9.90KG
Product Description
Organic Besan flour is made from ground chickpeas (usually roasted but sometimes raw) and is a popular ingredient in Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi cuisine. Being gluten free it makes a delicious alternative to plain flours and can be used to make delicious savoury pancakes or as a tasty soup thickener or binding agent for fritters and meatballs. Besan flour is high in fibre and protein compared to grain flours making it more filling as well as nutritious.
Interesting Facts about Chickpeas:
Chickpeas were one of the first cultivated crops by humans and are still one of the most popular legumes around the world today. Some cultures have used chickpeas to make a grain-free, versatile flour for centuries.
Chickpeas are the legume of choice when it comes to making the popular Middle Eastern dish Falafel.
