1. Introduction to Chickpea Flour
Table of Contents
Chickpea Flour, also known as Besan or Garbanzo Bean Flour (Bột Đậu Gà), is a nutrient-dense, gluten-free flour made from finely ground chickpeas. It has been a staple in Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines for millennia and is now a global favorite in the health and vegan food industries.
At Vinahugo, our Chickpea Flour is produced from high-quality, non-GMO chickpeas. Using advanced milling technology, we preserve the natural nutty flavor and the high protein/fiber content that makes this flour a superior alternative to traditional wheat flour.
