Gram Flour
Explore Grains
Gram flour, universally known as Besan or chickpea flour, is a highly popular, gluten-free pulse flour that holds a vital position in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and modern global healthy food industries. Aba Impex produces its premium gram flour exclusively from sound, unblemished 100% Chana Dal or pure Desi chickpeas (Cicer arietinum). Our advanced processing facilities utilize multi-stage air aspiration and de-stoning systems to clean the raw pulses before processing. The chickpeas are then gently split, de-hulled, and ground using cool-milling technologies. This cool-milling technique prevents high temperatures from cooking the flour, preserving the natural nutty flavor, bright yellow color, and rich protein profile. Every production run undergoes strict quality checks to guarantee a silky fine texture, uniform color, and complete freedom from adulteration or cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains. This makes Aba Impex a preferred international supplier for certified gluten-free processing plants and premium retail distributors.
