Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chickpea Flour?

Chickpea Flour is made by finely milling chickpeas into a smooth flour. It is also commonly called Gram Flour or Besan and is widely used in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking.

Is Chickpea Flour the same as Gram Flour?

The terms are often used interchangeably, although “gram flour” can sometimes refer specifically to flour made from chana dal or split chickpeas. For your product, use the terminology that accurately reflects the chickpeas and milling process you use.

What can I make with Chickpea Flour?

Chickpea Flour is commonly used for pakoras, bhajis, chillas, savoury pancakes, flatbreads, batters, crispy coatings, socca and falafel recipes. It can also be incorporated into gluten-free baking and flour blends.

Is Chickpea Flour naturally gluten free?

Chickpeas themselves are naturally gluten free. However, if you’re marketing your product specifically as “gluten free”, the finished product and production process need to meet the applicable gluten-free requirements.

Can I use Chickpea Flour instead of wheat flour?

Chickpea Flour behaves differently from wheat flour, so it isn’t always a direct 1:1 substitute. It works particularly well in savoury recipes, batters and flatbreads, and can be combined with other gluten-free flours for baking.

Why do you offer flexible quantities?

We offer quantities from just 50g so you can buy exactly what you need. This is useful when trying a new recipe, experimenting with a specialist flour or simply avoiding unnecessary food waste.
