What it is
Garbanzo flour, also known as chickpea flour, is made from dried chickpeas that have been ground into a fine powder. Chickpeas are legumes native to the Middle East and are a good source of protein and fiber.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use garbanzo flour as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking, providing structure and a slightly nutty flavor. It can also act as a binder in recipes like veggie burgers and fritters, and is sometimes used as a thickener.
Health notes
Garbanzo flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of dietary fiber and protein, which are important for a healthy diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated chickpeas and their components, but have not set specific limits for garbanzo flour itself. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts.
Allergen info
Garbanzo flour is not derived from one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
