Sprouted Gram Flour

Sprouted  Besan Flour is made from sprout activated chick peas. The sprouting process boosts protein, fiber, vitamins  and minerals, making the flour easier to digest and more nutrient-rich. This flour, which is slightly roasted is  perfect for both savory and sweet dishes, offering a nutty flavor and rich texture. It supports digestion, weight management and heart health while managing blood sugar levels. Rich in antioxidants and B vitamins, this flour promotes bone health and provides a natural source of energy. Ideal for gluten-free baking, it can be used in pancakes, fritters, smoothies and even skincare treatments.

Cleaning: The brown Chana dal is sorted to remove dust or impurities.

Soaking: Cleaned dal is soaked for 8-10 hrs. to activate the germination process.

Sprouting: The dal is drained periodically and later placed in perforated drums and allowed it to sprout for the next 24-36 hrs. under controlled temperature and humidity.

Drying: The dal is either solar dried or mechanically dried using a dehydrator.

De husking: Brown Chana is de husked in an aspirator machine.

Roasting: The dried dal is slightly roasted for a nutty flavor and later cooled.

Milling: The dal is subjected to milling in either stone mills or power grinders to make a fine Besan flour.

Sieving: Milled flour is sieved to remove any coarse particles to give a smooth flowing flour.
