About Garbanzo bean flour

Garbanzo bean flour, also known as chickpea flour, is made by grinding dried garbanzo beans into a fine, pale yellow powder. It has a mildly nutty, earthy flavour and a denser texture than many refined cereal flours. Products may differ in grind and whether the beans were roasted before milling.

It is used in batters, breads, savoury pancakes, and as a thickener. When mixed with liquid it forms a substantial batter, and cooking develops its characteristic legume flavour. It is a processed flour ingredient, not the same product as whole cooked garbanzo beans.
