What it is

Steamed chickpea flour is made from dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans) that have been cooked with steam before being ground into a fine powder. This process helps to reduce the "beany" flavor and improve digestibility compared to raw chickpea flour.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use steamed chickpea flour as a source of plant-based protein and fiber, and as a binder or thickener in food products. It is often found in baked goods, vegetarian burgers, and some dairy-free alternatives.

Health notes

Steamed chickpea flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, fiber, and various nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chickpea flour, and it is considered a safe food ingredient. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Chickpeas are legumes and are not among the FDA's nine major allergens. Steamed chickpea flour does not contain gluten.
