Notes
You can make it at home if you do not have chickpea flour. So with that, use chickpeas that are raw and dried. Using a high-powered blender, blend the chickpeas for about two minutes until they are very fine. Or till it achieves the same flour texture as actual chickpea flour. Then, remove the lumps from the blended chickpea flour using a sieve.
Suppose you plan to lose a few pounds. Or want to reduce your calorie intake. You can try substituting chickpea flour in your recipes because chickpea flour has lesser calories than white flour. Remember, consuming low-calorie foods reduce your calorie intake since it causes you to eat lesser portions. It also has higher protein content than wheat flour, decreasing hunger and increasing the calories you burn.
Chickpea flour behaves similarly to wheat flour in baking, which is a good substitute for flour. Therefore, people who have gluten intolerance can enjoy baked goods using chickpea flour instead of wheat.
Furthermore, make sure to store chickpea flour at room temperature in an airtight container. With this, it can last up to six months. Likewise, it can even last longer if kept in the fridge. In addition to that, you can put it in the freezer. Doing so would make it last for about one to two years.
