About Black lentil flour

Black lentil flour is flour made from lentils described as black. The label identifies the legume source and powdered form, but does not say whether the lentils are whole or decorticated, roasted, or combined with other ingredients.

It is used as a flour ingredient in batters, doughs, and other recipes, either alone or blended with other flours. The powder is typically fine and may have a legume-like flavour, though colour, texture, and flavour depend on the lentils and milling. The product name does not establish a particular lentil variety or a single formulation.
