chickpea powder

Chickpea powder (also called garbanzo bean flour) is made by milling dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans) into a fine powder.

Chickpea powder is generally mild in flavor, sometimes contributing a subtle nutty note. Texture-wise it can lighten batters and help create a slightly hearty or crisp texture in breads, fritters, and coatings.

Chickpea powder is a convenient pantry staple: it keeps well when stored in a cool, dry place and has a long shelf life, making it easy to use for quick cooking and baking.

Common uses include fluffy pancakes and cakes, crispy flatbreads, velvety sauces, savory fritters, and crunchy coatings for frying.

Chickpea powder is used in both sweet and savory cooking: as an egg substitute in vegan baking, for batters and coatings, to thicken sauces, and to make fritters and flatbreads.

Chickpea powder is plant-based and nutrient-rich, providing protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. It’s naturally gluten-free (from chickpeas), and some product labels state they are free of major allergens—always check the package for allergen and cross‑contamination information.

Product listings show single 16‑ounce (1 lb) bags and a multipack option of six 16‑ounce bags (96 ounces total).

The product emphasizes careful sourcing and fresh milling—describing the flour as "meticulously milled" and noting that beans are milled freshly to help preserve flavor and nutritional quality.
