Characteristics of our professional chickpea flour
✔ Nutrient-rich profile (plant proteins, fibre, minerals)
Chickpea flour contains 20–22% protein — a higher level than most cereal flours. It is rich in fibre, including a significant proportion of soluble fibres (pectins, galactomannans). Chickpea flour is a concentrated source of minerals and vitamins (iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, potassium, and vitamins B1, B2, B6). Naturally gluten-free, chickpea flour is low in saturated fats.
✔ Techno-functional properties (binding, emulsifying)
Chickpea flour has good thermal stability and naturally imparts a golden colour. Its high water-absorption capacity makes it an excellent natural hydrator.
With its strong binding capacity, it reinforces dough cohesion. Its emulsifying properties provide stable structure for sauces, creams and liquid batters.
✔ Quality certifications and food safety
Certified FSSC 22000, the sanitary quality of our products is recognised by major companies in the sector. Monitoring intrinsic product attributes (purity, moisture, energy value, etc.) strengthens our expertise from raw materials through to delivered goods.
We adapt our release analytical control plan to your specifications. Each lot is accompanied by a technical data sheet providing a full description including: nutritional composition, energy value (kcal), lipid and fatty acid content, carbohydrate and sugar content, salt content, protein and mineral sources, and recommended shelf life.
Raw-material risk analysis combined with a strict control plan ensures all our products comply with French and European regulations as well as your specific specifications.

Applications of chickpea flour in industry
✔ Gluten-free bakery–patisserie and enriched breads
Chickpea flour is an ideal ingredient to reinforce structure and colour in gluten-free products. Combined with wheat or spelt flours, chickpea flour enhances nutritional value.
✔ Vegetarian and vegan products (patties, falafels)
Chickpea flour is an essential ingredient for vegetarian and vegan products. Its techno-functional properties and excellent nutritional profile allow the substitution of many animal-derived ingredients, including eggs.
✔ Savoury snacking and high-protein biscuits
Chickpea flour offers advantages for healthy savoury snacks and protein-rich biscuits. Its nutritional composition — high in protein and fibre, with a low glycaemic index — supports health-claim positioning.
Its soluble fibres help promote satiety, making chickpea flour suitable for plant-based meal replacements rich in proteins and minerals.
Its strong binding capacity also makes it an ideal ingredient for removing glucose syrups in cereal bars.
