Frequently Asked Questions

Is besan flour the same as chickpea flour?

The names are often used interchangeably, although traditional besan is commonly made from split chickpeas and tends to have a particularly fine texture. It is also known as gram flour or chana flour.

Can besan flour be used instead of eggs?

Besan can work as a binder and as the base for egg-free savoury pancakes, fritters, quiches and similar dishes. It will not behave exactly like egg in every recipe, so some adjustment may be required.

Is this besan flour gluten-free?

Chickpeas do not naturally contain gluten. However, this product is packed in a facility that also handles wheat and gluten-containing cereals, so it is not represented as gluten-free and is not suitable for people with coeliac disease or severe gluten allergies.

How can I use besan flour in curries and gravies?

Dry-roast a small amount over low heat before whisking it into liquid. This helps develop its nutty flavour and can give kadhi, sauces and gravies a smoother, thicker consistency.

Can I use besan flour for flatbreads?

Yes. Mix it with water, olive oil and seasonings to make Indian chilla, French socca or Italian farinata. Cook until the centre is set and the edges are crisp and golden.

These cranberries are so good, the right balance of sweet and tarte, I like that they are sweetened with apple juice and no sulphites so I don’t end up with a stomach ache.

Absolutely wonderful! I've missed it so often

Absolutely wonderful! I've missed it so often, but since it is not readily available where we live, we've been without this beautiful addition to our meals for too long. So, that's why I decided to look for these peppercorns online - AND found your adv. Then I quickly ordered 2 bags and received them in no time. They fully live up to my expectations and bring warmth not only to our meals, but to my heart as well. THANK YOU!

Solid pea protein

Solid pea protein. It’s high quality, mixes smoothly without that gritty, chalky texture, and has no weird artificial aftertaste. Also like the clean, minimalist plain packaging.
