About Wholemeal lentil flour

Wholemeal lentil flour is made by milling lentils without removing the seed's outer coat. It is usually yellow, orange, red-brown or brown depending on the lentil used, and has a fine to slightly grainy texture with a legume-like, earthy flavour.

It is used in batters, flatbreads, savoury baked goods and as a thickener. The colour, flavour and performance vary with lentil type and milling, and the flour may be made from different lentil varieties rather than a single standardized product.
