Chickpea flour 1000g - VIVIO

Chickpea flour has been an integral part of Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisine for centuries. However, it is gaining popularity among those who value a healthy lifestyle every year. This product is primarily made from the dried beans of healthy chickpeas (legumes) . Chickpea flour is significantly different from traditional wheat flour, and even corn flour, or flour obtained from nuts. It is much heavier and has a compact structure. Interestingly, raw chickpea flour has a characteristic and unpleasant odor. Fortunately, with the heat treatment process, it becomes completely odorless and its taste is extremely delicate. It is worth noting that there are two types of chickpea flour on the market. The first is obtained by grinding the dried grains of this legume. The second type is created by grinding previously roasted chickpea seeds. Thanks to this, it is possible to remove the unpleasant bitterness and characteristic odor.
Chickpeas, from which nutritional flour is made, belong to the legume family. First of all, their appearance may remind us of pea seeds. Therefore, it is called a chickpea by many. Although chickpeas are a readily available product today, they actually originate from the West Asian region. India is considered the largest producer of this plant in the world. However, in Poland, we can also find a sparse cultivation of chickpeas. However, it is worth remembering that it is thermophilic. Therefore, it requires special conditions for growth. Currently, several species of chickpea can be recognized. In Europe, the most widely used variety is "kabula," which is cream-colored and has large seeds.
Chickpeas, like other legumes, are an excellent source of valuable nutrients. They contain large amounts of protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and carbohydrates. They are also an excellent source of dietary fiber. Interestingly, chickpeas are also a treasure trove of valuable vitamins and minerals. They are able to provide our body with large amounts of vitamins A, B vitamins (including folic acid) , vitamins C, E, and K. In addition, the small chickpea seeds and flour made from them contain large amounts of zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, potassium, sodium, calcium, and iron.
