CLEANSingle-ingredient stone-ground besan with no additives on label; no lab report on file yet.

Bengal gram, stone-ground the slow way to keep its texture coarse and its flavour nutty, rather than the fine, powdery grind a high-speed roller mill produces. Naturally gluten-free by ingredient, with a single-item label and a 6-month shelf life.

Note: it's processed in a facility that also handles wheat, so cross-contact is possible — not an issue for most households, but worth knowing if you're buying for someone with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. See suitability notes for detail.

What to look for in Besan?

Maida is the cheapest filler in any atta. If it appears on the ingredient list at all, part of what you are paying for is refined flour.

Stone-ground (chakki) flour keeps the germ and bran. Roller-milled flour usually does not. The pack should say which.

Unbleached flour is off-white and slightly uneven. A bright, uniform white usually means bleaching or heavy refining.

Whole flours go rancid faster because the germ is still in there. Buy a size you will finish in a couple of months.
