About Broad bean flour
Broad bean flour is flour made by milling dried broad beans. It is used in batters, doughs and other savoury preparations, either on its own in suitable recipes or blended with other flours; its behaviour depends on the recipe and grind.
The flour is typically pale beige to yellowish, with a fine to slightly coarse texture and a distinct, earthy bean flavour. It may be sold as a plain flour or in differently milled forms. The name does not specify whether the beans were peeled or how finely they were ground.
