Yellow Lentil Flour

Yellow lentil flour is made from dried yellow lentils, a type of legume. The lentils are typically cleaned, milled, and then sifted to create a fine powder. It is a gluten-free flour alternative.

Yellow lentil flour is used as a protein and fiber-rich ingredient in various food products. It can be found in gluten-free pasta, baked goods, snacks, and as a thickener in sauces and soups. Its mild flavor makes it a versatile substitute for traditional flours.

Yellow lentil flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of plant-based protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lentils and their components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods containing yellow lentil flour at typical intake levels.
