Chickpea Flour

Made from ground chickpeas, this gluten-free flour has long been a staple in some Asian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines. It's rich, filling, and full of protein. You can sub 3/4 cup chickpea flour for 1 cup regular white flour in most recipes. It can be used for dredging in fried recipes, in cakes, pastries, empanada dough, flatbreads and even pizza crust!
