Ground lentil, also known as lentil flour or besan (in some regions), is a versatile and nutritious ingredient made from finely milled dried lentils. It boasts a subtly nutty and earthy flavor, adding depth to both sweet and savory dishes. The texture is smooth and powdery, allowing it to blend seamlessly into recipes. Its color typically ranges from pale yellow to light brown, depending on the type of lentil used. Using ground lentil flour is a great gluten-free alternative in baking and cooking and a valuable source of plant-based protein and fiber.

Ground lentils should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent moisture absorption and insect infestation. Properly stored, they can last for several months to a year. To maximize shelf life, consider storing them in the refrigerator, particularly in warmer climates. Freezing is not typically necessary, but it can extend shelf life further if desired.
