Why is it better?
GENTLE BEANS® flour is made from optimized beans. So, why not just use the other legume (bean, pea, lentil, etc.) flours that you can find on the market?
We have designed a natural process to remove or greatly reduce these anti-nutrients, toxins, and oligosaccharides, thus our beans gently give your body nutrition without a lot of work or painful flatulence.

Why is GENTLE BEANS® flour better than wheat flour?
Compared to white wheat and whole wheat flours, GENTLE BEANS® flour has:
What that means to your digestion is that you have more nutrition with every bite as well as more level blood sugars that give longer lasting energy. The mix of protein, fiber, and slower burning carbohydrates is a great mix for feeling satisfied and healthy!
- GENTLE BEANS® flour has no lectins (phytohaemagglutinin). Raw legumes have this toxin in varying levels and it can cause digestive issues (to both humans and animals) that may seem either minor or acute at first but can become more severe in the long term with possible major issues with nutrient absorption.
- GENTLE BEANS® flour allows for nutrient absorption. Raw legume flour is difficult for the body to digest due to the high amounts of varying anti-nutrients that block nutrient absorption.
- GENTLE BEANS® flour is easily digestible and causes less (or no) gas and bloating. Raw bean flour also contains certain molecules called oligosaccharides that are at least partially responsible for the increased and sometimes painful gas beans are known for.
