I saw a video where they roasted the chickpeas first and then they grounded them. I think roasted them is smart because it deactivates the anti nutrients and makes grinding them easier.
I read that soaking the chickpeas removes more anti-nutrients than roasting them. Anti-nutrients are compounds which interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients in human body.
I went to Vons here in Southern CA, they had all kinds of flour, but not chickpea flour, very surprised. Checked with staff too. So instead I bought a 16 oz bag of chickpeas ($ 2.99) at Vons and have now made my first batch of chickpea flour in our coffee grinder. Yay! 😍 I need about 3.5 oz of chickpea flour for vegetarian patties which I have made before (with my homemade Dijon mustard & mayo potato salad on the side). Lots of recipes online if you want to make veggie patties with chickpea flour. Note: The 3.5 oz of chickpeas that I have now ground in the coffegrinder yielded 3.5 oz of flour - how perfect is that?! 🤩
Try to find that product at an authentic Indian food store. I go to a place called "India food and spices" in Duarte. Been going there for 15 years, they have a restaurant and retail store in the same building. Wide selection and don't miss out on the Bangan Bharta, if it is on the menu.
@@cityofangels4874 Sure! You of course wash them very well first and let them soak overnight or at least for a couple of hours, then you let them drain, towel or air dry very well, now you can either use a dehydrator (machine), or lay them on a tray in a very low temperature oven or even let them sun dry outside for a few days. Now they are clean and dry, perfect for making your great chickpea flour :)
@@evecami1953 how long in the oven and any specific temperature? Do you just leave them in there until they harden again? I ask because I imagine you could do like 300°F to make it go by faster 🤣 but not sure if that defeats the purpose lol. I think that's low enough to not roast them but quick enough to watch and make sure they dont brown or cook, but not sure. I imagine the temperature doesnt matter too much as long as they arent burnt or wet before blending correct? I plan to keep the flour in the fridge anyways.
@@HoneeyBee3 "very low temperature" as in as low as your oven can go, mine does 175° in baking mode, but I can set it to Dehydrate at 150° and so I do. Just imagine if you can dehydrate outside under the sun.. I hope it doesn't get to the 300°'s where you live! 😁 we are not trying to Roast or Cook so yes, it would defeat the flour-final purpose, even though you could end up with a delicious crunchy-healthy snack! 😋
Great video and information I already use chickpeas in dishes at home but now gonna try making flour and substituting it for all purpose flour hopefully helping cut cost especially with the inflation in prices these days, thanks again!
Genius!! Thanks so much for making and sharing this video. I don't use regular flour for health reasons and appreciate any alternative flours. Currently using oats and coconut flour, now I'll have this to add to my list!! Thank again. Oh and I have liked and subscribed to your channel.
Chickpeas must be soaked a day before and after that dried and ground Which legumes must be soaked a day before to prevent gases and ease their digestion and to benefit the body with the nutrients contained in them. Not soaking them prevents the body from absorbing nutrients. This is what the doctors say and thank you ☺️
Thank you for sharing your advice I was thinking about this because I know usually when cooking chickpea you have to soak them a day before for they won’t cook easily
A-ha! Maybe that's what went wrong. I used kidney beans to make flour and used it to make a kind of roux to thicken a sauce. I found I felt a bit nauseous after eating it; and not at all good (have since used potato starch instead). Maybe I should try again with sprouted/dehydrated beans. 😊
When using dry chickpea do you need to prep the chickpeas? Can I just buy a bag of dried chick peas, or do I need to soak and boil and roast the chickpeas before grinding them?
Great for a roux - thickening gravy, white sauce etc, but don't try and cook the butter/flour mix as it will burn, blend and go straight to adding liquid. Gives a much richer flavour, and more protein, especially good for Seniors.
Thank you- I do use this method in my Vitamix. I was wondering if using as a pancake/ omelet gives the flour enough time to cook for lectin issues and gut health? (You know how beans need to be cooked for our bodies to process etc.)

@@posymohamed7192 I've been making chickpea flour without soaking and it comes out just fine. There are more than one way to make almost any food item and lots of folks do not soak, so to each their own. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@maha77 I have a dehydrator which I used for sprouted wheat. Haven't tried beans yet but put that on my to-do list. 😉 Moist beans almighty clogg up or even damage your mill; I wouldn't do it that way.

Thanks a million 💕 I want to make chickpea Tofu and make my own flour for freshness and better flavor. Please provide recipes for chickpea patties. May you be BLESSED ALWAYS 💐🌺💕
I made a lot of this flour from chickpeas I had and it went moldy!!! You can't keep it. Maybe it would have been OK if I refrigerated it. It was hard to get fine in my Blendtec.
I don't usually, but you certainly could wash them if you thoroughly dry them before grinding. You just don't want to introduce any moisture to the flour, so it's important to start with dry beans.
Is it right the the chickpea flour can substitute half the flour such as cake flour, wholewheat flour except the coconut flour ? How about the almond flour, can replace half also? Can I use it based on that formula on angel food cake and chiffon cake? Thank you
I don't understand how it takes so long to cook Chickpeas, but when we turn them into flour, we can make recipes that only take like 10min to prepare 🤔
Wait, I thought you had to soak them 24 hours first, then re-dehydrate and THEN grind???!!? Is it possible to just grind into flour WITHOUT the first two steps??
It's definitely possible! This is how I use it all the time, because I don't have the patience to soak and then dehydrate the beans myself. I haven't noticed a difference in the final baked results, but I guess if you have super sensitive digestion, perhaps the soaking and re-dehydrating process might be worth it?
@@DetoxinistaRecipes I dunno, but lemme tell you I did the first two steps and then I boiled them a while and made my own home made garlic-lemon hummus -- topped it with olive oil, Aleppo pepper, olives, walnuts and cheese.... served with sourdough toast slices, celery and crackers... I NEVER had anything SO DELICIOUS 😋!!! MY husband wiped his plate clean!! So, for THAT it was worth it!! 😎 And I bought a two pound bag for a dollar!!
The store bought flours I've seed don't have any other ingredients added. The main difference is that some store-bought flours can be ground VERY finely! But the texture is very similar if you use a coffee grinder or high-speed blender.
Makes THE BEST FRITTATAS or quiche . just season and add water and baking power then all the wonderful veggies. I’m still trying to figure out how she made 1 and a 1/2 from 1🤨but aye. 🤷🏻♀️🙌🏽
I don't, because then you'd need to dry them for quite a while before you could grind them into a flour. You don't want to introduce any added moisture, or the flour could spoil quickly.
I beg your pardon. Chickpea flour alone makes a lousy pancake. I make them thin and leave them in the pan for 10 minutes and STILL they are not done. Nothing remotely resembling a real pancake. Still mushy on the inside and will burn if you leave them cook longer. Faceplant fail.
Cereals are grains that come from a family of plants called Poaceae (true grasses). A legume is a plant from the family Fabaceae and are characterized by their symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the plant's roots

I just started cooking with chickpea 🧆 flour and I made cookies, just like the ones in your video, cool tutorial!
Thank you so much you just save me a lot of money , all this time I’ve just been buying it.
Exactly, a 1 lb. bag of chickpeas at WalMart about $1 and you know exactly what you've got when you make you flour, no additives.
You should soak and dry chickpeas before blending for digestibility and to remove the bitterness
I was wondering about this. But wouldn't the texture change? It would be dough, not flour.
Thank you so much for this! I dont know why I never thought that you could make chickpea flour at home.
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
I saw a video where they roasted the chickpeas first and then they grounded them. I think roasted them is smart because it deactivates the anti nutrients and makes grinding them easier.
What are anti nutrients, please?
Thank you
How do you roast them? Time? Temperature?
I read that soaking the chickpeas removes more anti-nutrients than roasting them. Anti-nutrients are compounds which interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients in human body.
