Organic Garbanzo Bean Flour

Organic garbanzo bean flour is made from dried, ground chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans. Chickpeas are legumes native to the Middle East. The flour is produced by milling the dried beans into a fine powder.

Garbanzo bean flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking, providing structure and a slightly nutty flavor. It can also act as a binder and thickener in recipes like veggie burgers, pancakes, and sauces.

Garbanzo bean flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of dietary fiber and protein. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated chickpeas and their components, but have not set specific limits for garbanzo bean flour itself. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming garbanzo bean flour in typical amounts found in food.
