Organic Chickpea Flour

Chickpea flour is made from dried chickpeas that are ground into a fine powder. It is a staple ingredient in many cuisines, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking. The flour has a mild, nutty flavor and a slightly earthy aroma.

Manufacturers use chickpea flour as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking, such as for breads, cakes, and cookies. It can also be used as a binder in vegetarian burgers and as a thickener in sauces and soups. Its protein and fiber content make it a nutritious addition to various food products.

Chickpea flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. It is a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated similar legume-based flours, generally finding them safe for consumption. Evidence suggests it can contribute to a healthy diet due to its nutrient profile.
