Socca is a Mediterranean pancake traditionally made with gram flour, water and olive oil. This makes is naturally gluten free, vegan and high in protein. Gram flour is not only protein rich but a great source of B vitamins, iron, magnesium and potassium. These are wonderful little flatbreads almost like pancakes. Ideal for serving with soups, dips or using as a gluten free wrap. I like to flavour these with smoked paprika and cumin but you could also add some turmeric for an anti-inflammatory boost.

Gram Flour also known as chickpea flour is a great way of adding more protein and fibre into your diet. Use it in savoury breads and muffins, waffles and pancakes. The fibre also helps support balanced blood sugar, digestion and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in your gut.
[recipe]Chickpea flour is a great addition to a plant based diet. Consuming beans has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and protective benefits against cancer, in particular cancer within the digestive tract including colon, stomach and kidney cancer. This is due to the high-fibre content in beans and legumes that can support detox and elimination.
