Pulse FloursPulse Flours• Whole pulses may be milled into whole or split flours
– Functional properties
• Convenience and health• Benefits of pulse flour consumption
– Convenient products to increase pulse consumption– Increased dietary fiber– Lower glycemic index– Gluten free formulations– With other cereal grains: forms a complete protein

FlourFlour• What we need to know…
– Functional differences– Varietal differences– Particle size differences– Concentration of pulses in blends– Functional synergies with other ingredients
• Challenges in incorporation of pulse flours– Texture, colour, flavour
