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?

    if they were wet, you'd end up with a paste. You want dry things to turn into flour

    Yes, naturally it would have to be dried afterwards. Beans could be dried whole, or made into a paste and then ground.

  • 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.
