I am considering trying to make my own bean flour from black/pinto/red beans, for use in pasta. I cannot find any references to soaking first, all recipes just says to grind them into flour. Except for one I found using chickpeas.
Is soaking not necessary, or is it maybe just taken for granted?

3if they were wet, you'd end up with a paste. You want dry things to turn into flour– JoeAug 9, 2017 at 11:44

1Yes, naturally it would have to be dried afterwards. Beans could be dried whole, or made into a paste and then ground.– KellerAug 10, 2017 at 5:11

Thanks. It does however also say that if you only use it occasionally, you can use raw chickpeas, though it is not as nutritional as soaked or sprouted.– KellerApr 3, 2018 at 18:24
