Chickpea flour, also known as gram flour, garbanzo bean flour or besan, is simply finely milled chickpeas. It is a great source of protein, fibre, and vitamins and is naturally gluten-free. It is a dense flour and a good, gluten-free, binder making it fantastic for use in fritters. Mixed with other flours, it is great to use when making quick bread, muffins, and cakes.
