How much protein is in unsalted chickpea flour noodles?
There are approximately 12g of protein per 100g serving. This makes them a more protein-rich snack option compared to traditional potato chips or wheat-based crackers.
Are these noodles gluten-free?
Yes, chickpea flour is naturally gluten-free. These noodles are an excellent alternative for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, though you should always check for cross-contamination warnings on the label.
Are unsalted chickpea flour noodles keto-friendly?

What do unsalted chickpea flour noodles taste like?
They have a mild, earthy, and slightly nutty flavor typical of chickpeas. Because they are unsalted, the natural bean flavor is more pronounced, providing a neutral base for other seasonings.
How should I use these noodles in my diet?
As a snack, they are usually consumed crunchy like 'sev.' You can eat them plain, mix them into a savory trail mix, or use them as a gluten-free crunchy topping for salads, soups, and bowls.
Are these noodles vegan?

How should I store chickpea flour noodles?
Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keeping them away from moisture and humidity is essential to maintain their crisp texture and prevent them from becoming stale.
How long do these noodles stay fresh?
When kept in a sealed container, they typically stay fresh for 2 to 4 weeks. If they develop a stale odor or lose their crunch, the oils may have begun to oxidize, and they should be discarded.
Why should I choose the unsalted version over salted ones?
The unsalted version is ideal for individuals monitoring their sodium intake for heart health or blood pressure. It also allows you to customize the flavor profile with your own herbs and spices without over-salting.
