The desi variety (small, dark-seeded Bengal gram) used in Dhatu's besan has a higher fibre content and more polyphenols in its seed coat than the kabuli (white, large-seeded) variety used in many commercial besans. Our certified organic besan is stone cold-milled for consistent fineness without heat processing, preserving its natural folate and iron content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Nutritional Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighest protein among common Indian flours\u003c\/strong\u003e — 22.5g per 100g (6.8g per 30g serving)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional folate\u003c\/strong\u003e — 437mcg per 100g, over 100% of adult daily requirement in 100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh iron\u003c\/strong\u003e — 6.2mg per 100g (10.9% RDA per 30g serving)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood dietary fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e — 10.8g per 100g for gut health and satiety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow GI\u003c\/strong\u003e — approximately 22–32; one of the lowest GI flours available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally gluten-free\u003c\/strong\u003e — safe for coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo added starch\u003c\/strong\u003e — pure chickpea flour, no maida or rice flour dilution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBesan vs Other High-Protein Flours (per 100g)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProtein (g)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFolate (mcg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGI (approx.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"rte-highlight\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDhatu Organic Besan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e437\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22–32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSattu (Roasted Chana)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~350\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38–42\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhole Wheat Atta\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~43\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69–71\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOats Flour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~56\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55–65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRagi Flour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68–83\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dpp-source\"\u003eProtein and folate: ICMR-NIN 2017 (chickpea data, p.62).
