Why Everyone’s Talking About Wood Pressed Besan (And Why You Should Too)
In recent years, People are being more aware towards traditional, unprocessed ingredients—and for good reason. And one ingredient making an impactful comeback is wood pressed besan. Unlike regular besan~ produced through high-speed steel grinders, wood pressed besan is made using slow, traditional methods that preserve its natural nutrients, fragrance, and flavor.
What Exactly Is Wood Pressed Besan?

It’s not just besan. It’s besan done right.
Wood pressed besan is made by grinding premium-quality chana dal using traditional cold-pressed techniques— the same idea used in making wood-pressed oils. This process ensures the flour retains its natural oils, fragrance, nutrients, and none of the heat-created bitterness that comes from modern steel grinders.
Think of it like this:
Modern besan = fast food.
Wood pressed besan = slow-cooked grandma love.
