The Goodness of Gram Flour (Besan)
Besan is much more than just flour; it’s a culinary cornerstone:

• Nutty & Earthy Flavor: Imparts a distinct, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor to dishes, which deepens beautifully when roasted.

• Excellent for Batters & Binding: Its unique properties make it ideal for creating crispy batters for pakoras, bhajis, and other fried snacks. It also acts as a superb binding agent in cutlets, koftas, and vegetarian patties.

• Foundation for Sweets (Mithai): The star ingredient in beloved Indian sweets like Besan Ladoo, Mysore Pak, and Besan Barfi, contributing a rich, characteristic taste and texture.

• Naturally Gluten-Free: A fantastic alternative to wheat flour for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, suitable for a wide range of gluten-free recipes.

• Rich in Protein & Fiber: Gram flour is a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, adding nutritional value to your meals.

• Premium Quality by Alibaba: Alibaba ensures this gram flour is finely ground and of high quality for optimal results in all your cooking and baking endeavors.

• Convenient 1kg Pack: A popular and practical size for regular household use.
