About Lentil flour

Lentil flour is flour made by grinding lentils, a type of pulse. It is a dry, finely milled ingredient with a colour that can range from pale yellow to deeper orange, red or brown according to the lentil used and its processing. Its flavour is earthy and pulse-like, and it may be used in batters, doughs and other preparations.

The flour may be made from different lentil varieties and can be milled from whole or hulled lentils. These differences affect its colour, flavour and texture. It is sold dry and should not be confused with cooked lentil purée or with flour made from other pulses.
