Chickpea flour built for performance and possibility
As demand for clean-label, plant-based innovation heats up, chickpeas are gaining ground fast. U.S. chickpea production jumped 28% in 2023, with Canada close behind—clear signals of a market on the move. That momentum sets the stage for GPC’s Steamed Chickpea Flour to stand out as a brand’s go-to ingredient.
Steamed Chickpea Flour is made from whole, dehulled non-GMO chickpeas that are steamed to neutralize flavor and enhance functionality. The result is a clean-label flour containing protein and fiber that supports a wide range of applications across the snack, bakery, and dairy-alternative landscape.
Optimized for clean-label claims and consumer trust
With today’s consumers demanding transparency, minimally processed ingredients are more important than ever. Steamed Chickpea Flour delivers on that demand. It can be labeled simply as "chickpea flour" on ingredient statements. This is chickpea flour that formulators can feel confident putting at the top of their ingredient list.
Functional performance across applications
Steamed Chickpea Flour is also extremely versatile and easy to work with. It performs well as a primary or complementary flour in breads and sweet baked goods, pizza crusts and crackers, pastries, pastas, and extruded snacks. Thanks to its low flavor profile and high functionality, Steamed Chickpea Flour can also be used in salad dressings, dips, and dairy analogs like cheese sauces and puddings. That level of performance makes it a smart solution for formulators expanding product lines without compromising label simplicity or consumer appeal.

From sourcing to sustainability, GPC provides a secure and reliable supply of food-grade chickpeas—crops that naturally enrich the soil and reduce the need for nitrogen-based fertilizers. All chickpeas used in our Steamed Chickpea Flour are
