Rooted in Red Chana, Born from Tribal Soil
Most commercial besan is milled from generic yellow chana or hybrid varieties chosen for yield, not nutrition. Amrit Krishi's Besan begins diAerently - with native desi Red Chana, grown organically by tribal farming communities on Jharkhand's virgin red laterite soils, enriched by Amrit Mitti and Amrit Jal, containing up to 9% organic carbon. The Red Chana variety is naturally denser in protein, anthocyanins, and trace minerals than standard yellow chana - giving this besan a nutritional head start before it even reaches the stone.
High Protein, Low GI, Full Body Support
1. Among the highest plant-protein flours available - making it an ideal daily protein source for vegetarians, vegans, and athletes.
2. Low glycaemic index (Low GI) ensures steady glucose release - no spikes, no crashes - valuable for diabetics and weight management.
3. High fibre supports gut microbiome health, regulates cholesterol, and improves digestive regularity.
4. Folate makes it especially beneficial during pregnancy.
5. Iron supports healthy blood and oxygen transport, particularly for women and growing children.
6. Naturally gluten-free - a safe, nourishing alternative for those with gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease.
7. Anthocyanins from Red Chana add anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection not found in standard yellow chana besan.
Stone Chakki Cold-Ground - The Only Honest Way
Amrit Krishi Besan- Stone chakki · Cold-ground · Slow mill · Nutrients intact · Natural aroma preserved · No heat damage
Commercial Besan - High-speed roller mill · Heat-generated · Vitamins degraded · Flavour altered · Often bleached
The traditional stone chakki generates no friction heat, keeping the flour naturally cool throughout milling. This single distinction protects the protein structure, B-vitamins, Vitamin E, and natural
colour from thermal degradation - losses that occur silently in every bag of commercial besan and are never disclosed on the label.
One Ingredient. Nothing Else.
1. 100% stone-ground native Red Chana flour - no additives, no preservatives, no anti-caking agents, no bleaching.
2. The warm golden-yellow hue is the natural colour of cold-ground Red Chana flour, not a result of treatment.
3. Retains the full spectrum of nutrients from the original pulse: plant protein, dietary fibre, Vitamin E, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6, folate), iron, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.
4. The slight coarser texture compared to ultra-fine commercial besan is evidence of stone grinding - and proof that the bran has not been sieved out for cosmetic uniformity.
India's Most Versatile Flour - Returned to Its Honest Form
1. Besan is the most versatile flour in Indian cooking - and the most adulterated. From pakoras and cheelas to kadhi, halwa, ladoo, missi roti, and high-protein pancakes, it appears across every region
and every occasion.
2. Yet most households unknowingly cook with heat-damaged, bleached, or adulterated besan that has lost the very nutrition they believe they are eating.
3. Amrit Krishi's Besan closes that gap. Made from Red Chana - not anonymous yellow chana - it brings a richer flavour, deeper colour, and measurably superior nutrition to every recipe it enters.
4. It is equally at home in a grandmother's pakora batter and a nutritionist's high-protein breakfast bowl.
5. For conscious cooks, it is not just a substitution - it is an upgrade that is tasted immediately and felt over time.
