Question

Are Chickpeas Gluten Free?

Answer

Yes, chickpeas are naturally gluten free. They are a versatile legume that can be enjoyed in various dishes, including salads, soups, and as the main ingredient in gluten-free alternatives like chickpea flour.

Detailed information

However, it’s crucial to be cautious with processed chickpea products, such as canned or pre-packaged items, as they may be subject to cross-contamination during manufacturing.

Always check labels and choose products explicitly labeled as “gluten-free” if you have gluten sensitivities.
