A staple in Indian and Pakistani cooking and commonly used in southern France and Italy for flatbreads, chickpea flour is gaining popularity in the United States as a gluten-free alternative to flour.
Hayden's Chickpea Flour is earthy, lightly nutty and perfectly balanced between sweet and savory. And the company's stone milling process yields an ultra-fine consistency that is easily substituted in recipes. Swap out small quantities in your baked goods for extra protein and nutty-sweet flavor, or whisk into vegetarian soups for more body.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Chickpea flour is traditionally used in Indian cooking for fritters and batters and in Italian and French cooking for flat, griddled crepes called socca, panisse or farinata, depending on the region. Use as a thickener and protein boost for soups and stews and substitute 20-25% the wheat flour in some baked goods, especially quick breads, which don't rely as much on gluten development for structure as yeasted breads.
Based in Arizona, Hayden Flour Mills grows and harvests local heritage grains that have a unique depth of flavor and stone-mills them in small batches, so they are incredibly fresh and retain all of their nutrients.
