About Bean flour

Bean flour is flour made from beans, but the name does not identify the bean type or whether the flour is made from whole beans or a particular separated fraction. It is used as an ingredient in baked goods, batters, and other foods, either alone or blended with other flours. Processing, including whether the beans are roasted or otherwise treated, is not specified.

The flour is typically a dry, ground powder, with colour, fineness, aroma, and flavour varying by bean and processing. It may contribute a bean-like flavour and a dense or grainy quality to foods, depending on how it is used. Nutrition comparisons should match the bean type, flour fraction, and processing rather than treating all bean flours as identical.
