Organic Besan Flour (Chickpea Flour)

The protein-packed, naturally grain-free flour for savory baking. 🌿✨

Discover one of the most versatile ingredients in global cooking with our premium Organic Besan Flour (also known as Gram Flour or Chana Flour). Made from 100% organically grown chickpeas, this flour is traditionally stone-milled to preserve its rich, nutty aroma and golden color without any harsh chemical treatments or bleaching.

Effortless nutrition. Naturally grain-free and boasting an impressive 20g of plant-based protein per 100g, besan is a wholesome powerhouse. It acts as a natural binding agent for crispy vegetable fritters, creates silky batters, and makes the most incredible French socca flatbreads and savory pancakes.

Origin: India 🇮🇳 Packed in: Auckland, New Zealand 🇳🇿

Endless Versatility. Maximum Flavour.

🫓

Savory Flatbreads & Socca

Whisk with water, olive oil, and herbs to bake crispy, golden French socca or Italian farinata flatbreads in a hot skillet.

🥦

Crispy Pakoras & Fritters

The ultimate batter base for Indian onion bhajis and vegetable fritters. It coats vegetables perfectly and fries to a light, airy crunch.

🍲

Thicken Curries & Gravies

Dry-roast a tablespoon in a pan and stir it into traditional yogurt-based curries (like Kadhi) for a thick, velvety consistency.

Quick Recipe: 15-Minute Savory Chickpea Omelette

A fantastic egg-free, high-protein breakfast or lunch that cooks up crisp and golden!

→ 1/2 cup SpiceBloom Organic Besan Flour
→ 1/2 cup Water & 1 tbsp olive oil
→ 1/4 tsp SpiceBloom Organic Turmeric & salt
→ 1/4 cup Finely diced red onion, spinach & bell pepper
Whisk the besan flour, water, turmeric, salt, and olive oil in a bowl until completely smooth. Fold in the diced vegetables. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour the batter in and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Enjoy warm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is besan flour the same as regular chickpea flour?

Yes! Besan (gram flour) is ground from split brown chickpeas (chana dal) or whole raw chickpeas. It has an exceptionally fine texture and a delicious, earthy aroma that works wonders in both savory dishes and traditional sweets.

Can I use this as an egg replacer in vegan baking?

Absolutely! Because besan is naturally high in protein and acts as a fantastic binder when mixed with water, it is widely used to make vegan omelettes, quiches, and savory frittatas.

Why can't this be claimed as 100% gluten-free?

While the organic chickpeas themselves naturally contain zero gluten, we pack and handle this flour in a warehouse that also stores and processes wheat and gluten-containing cereals. To be completely transparent and safe for our customers, we cannot certify it against trace cross-contamination.

I add moringa to my smoothie each morning

I add moringa to my smoothie each morning, it does not have any added taste to my mix so I tolerate it very well. I have no adverse effects. It is an additional supplement that I am finding keeps me well and healthy. Iam 75 years old.

Great find ...

So pleased I found Spicebloom's website. The dried apricots are the best I have ever tasted, so sweet and tender and most importantly no sulphates used in the drying process. The Californian walnut pieces also delicious and much cheaper than buying in such small amounts at a supermarket. Highly recommend Spicebloom and their products.

Great find ...

Best dried apricots I have ever tasted, so sweet and tender and especially important to me is the fact that they have not been preserved/dried with sulphates. So pleased I came across your website.
