Organic Chickpea Flour – High Fibre, Gluten-Free & 100% Organic

Our organic chickpea flour (also known as chick pea flour or chickpea powder) is a nutrient-rich alternative to traditional wheat flour. Milled from whole dried chickpeas, it’s naturally gluten-free, low in sugar and fat, and packed with fibre and plant-based protein.

Since it’s made from whole chickpeas, this flour retains all the nutritional goodness, rich in folate, and a source of copper and manganese. It’s perfect for anyone looking to add variety and nutrition to their cooking.

The key benefits include:

● High in fibre and protein
● Low in sugar and fat
● 100% organic
● Naturally gluten-free
● Acts as a natural binder – great for egg-free recipes

Chickpea flour makes wonderful onion bajhis and has a strong tradition in Indian, Pakistani, Nepali and Bangladeshi cuisines. Chickpea flour works as a binder so it can be used in the place of eggs in vegan cooking. Chickpea flour works in breads, cakes and pancakes for a alternative to traditional wheat based flours.

For best results, try combining it with other flours like tigernut flour, almond flour, or buckwheat flour for more texture and flavour.
