Pre-gel red lentil flour is a cold-swelling, gluten-free functional flour that has have been pre-cooked and dried, allowing their starch and protein components to hydrate instantly in ambient water. This process stabilizes viscosity, giving good binding properties when used with standard flours. It has medium strength and good dispersibility when mixed with other dry ingredients. The natural high-protein profile of lentils, with its clean-label appeal, is also known for its smooth texture. Pregelatinized red lentil flour provides excellent solutions for support at the initial blending/mixing stage stabilizing the deposited products prior to baking.
