So, what is kikkererwtenmeel?
Kikkererwtenmeel, also known as chickpea flour, is a versatile gluten-free ingredient used in a variety of dishes worldwide. This finely ground flour is made from dried chickpeas and has a distinct nutty flavor and slightly grainy texture. It's a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as iron and potassium. Kikkererwtenmeel is commonly used in Indian cuisine to make savory pancakes, known as besan cheela, and in Middle Eastern cuisine to make falafel. It's also a popular ingredient in gluten-free baking and can be used as a thickening agent in soups and sauces.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
