Diet Ratings
Chickpea flour contains ~48g net carbs per 100g due to legume starch content. Even 2 tbsp (16g) provides ~8g net carbs. Legume-based flours exceed keto carb limits.
Pure plant-based legume flour, excellent protein source, whole food with no animal products or derivatives.
Chickpeas are legumes, explicitly excluded from paleo diet. Flour form concentrates the legume content and removes any whole-food context.
Legume-based flour rich in protein, fiber, and plant-based nutrients. Aligns perfectly with Mediterranean emphasis on legumes. Used in traditional Mediterranean cuisines (socca, panelle). Minimally processed.

Legume-based flour rich in plant protein, fiber, and potassium. Low sodium, excellent source of magnesium. Supports DASH emphasis on legumes and plant-based proteins.
Legume-based flour with moderate glycemic index and good protein. However, carb-heavy and requires precise portioning. Better as minor ingredient than primary carb source.
