Time is what you make of it. Today is the perfect day to add this wonder flour to your pantry. If you're craving crispy flatbreads, or a nice crunchy pizza crust then besan flour is your flour power. Made from finely-ground dried chickpeas, gluten-free besan flour, also known as gram flour, is highly versatile and easy to use. Its mellow, buttery flavour is great for creamy desserts, dumplings, crackers and 'soccas' (large chickpea pancakes). Besan flour saves the day when it comes to thickening soups, sauces and stews. It is an excellent source of folate and is rich in vitamin B-6, magnesium, iron, potassium and selenium, which assists the body's absorption of vitamin E. Besan flour is hypoallergenic and is suitable for elimination diets, designed to identify trigger foods.
