The Goodness of Gram Flour (Besan)

Besan is much more than just flour; it's a culinary cornerstone and a pantry essential:

• 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 the ideal choice for creating the light and crispy batters for pakoras, bhajis, and other fried snacks. It also acts as a great binding agent in vegetarian cutlets and koftas.
• Foundation for Sweets (Mithai): The star ingredient in beloved Indian sweets like Besan Ladoo, Mysore Pak, and Besan Barfi.
• Naturally Gluten-Free: A fantastic alternative to wheat flour for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, suitable for many gluten-free recipes.
• Rich in Protein & Fiber: Gram flour is a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber.
• Trusted Alibaba Quality: Milled and packed in the UK, Alibaba is a trusted brand ensuring a consistent and high-quality gram flour for optimal results in your cooking.
