Chana Besan

Besan, sometimes referred to as chana besan or gram flour, is a multipurpose ingredient that has been a staple of Indian cooking for centuries.

Nourish Chana Besan, a nutritious gram flour made from ground chickpeas, is rich in fibre, protein, folate, vitamin B-6, thiamine, iron, potassium, manganese, copper, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, and other necessary minerals.

It is processed using a sophisticated grinding technique and goes through all the essential quality inspections. In recent years, it has become more well-liked as a gluten-free substitute for wheat flour in the West.

There are many options for preparing Nourish Besan in the kitchen. Traditional Indian foods like pakoras, dhokla, and besan ke ladoo are frequently prepared with it. Moreover, it can be used as a thickening agent in sauces and soups as well as a binding agent in veggie burgers.
