chickpea flour
Chickpea flour is perfect for those who are following a gluten-free diet. It is what you use to make panelle, a Sicilian treat of basically a fritter made with chickpea flour. It is actually a food of Arab influence.
Garbanzo beans from which this flour is made are packed with protein and fiber, so it makes it very healthy.
Apart from food items like panelle, chickpea flour can also be used as a thickener for sauces, and in some baked goods. You can easily find it in the organic section of your grocery store, a health food store, or online.
