Chickpea flour, which is also called gram flour, or traditionally besan is popular in many countries, especially in Asia and the Middle East.Chickpeas are an excellent source of dietary fibre, with about 12.5 grams for every one cup of cooked chickpeas. This makes chickpea flour an equally good source, especially when you use it in place of refined flours that have been stripped of nutrients and are very low in fibre. Chickpeas provide ample amounts of polyphenols, many of which are potent antioxidants. Chickpea flour has a form of complex carbohydrate called starch that the body is able to slowly digest and use for energy over time in a much more beneficial way than consuming refined carbohydrates. On top of the existing benefits, our chickpea flour(besan) is organic and is thus completely free from chemical residues.
