I set my Mockmill Lino 200 on a 2 for chickpeas.

Usually about a 3 on my Mockmill. But you will want to sift the skins/large chunks out before using.

I dry the starch by spreading it on a cookie sheet it dries in a few hours (do not heat) and scrape it up, store in the freezer it does not last like commercial starch. Search for “high protein chickpea tofu” Mary’s Test Kitchen has the recipe I used.

Hi – how do you dry the chickpea starch and make the chickpea tofu? Sounds really interesting.

Oh wow, that’s a fun chickpea fact I didn’t know!

It is a side product of making high protein chickpea tofu.

Technically, yes. But I would personally be concerned about the moisture levels being just right so you don’t damage your mill!

Hi Christene! I own multiple grain mills and, by far, the best one at milling chickpeas is the Mockmill. Here’s my Grain Mill Guide: https://soulyrested.com/grain-mill/ And more info on the Mockmill: https://soulyrested.com/mockmill/
