Gram flour, also known as besan or chickpea flour, is a gluten-free flour made from ground chickpeas. It is rich in protein, fiber, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and minerals (such as iron and magnesium). Gram flour is a versatile ingredient used in various cuisines, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean dishes. It is used to make batter for fritters (pakoras), flatbreads (like socca or pudla), and as a thickener for soups and sauces. Gram flour offers potential health benefits, including promoting digestion, providing sustained energy, and supporting overall health due to its nutrient-rich profile.
