About

One of the earliest cultivated vegetables, chickpeas have been nourishing humans for over 7,000 years. Rich in fibre and protein, chickpeas are also naturally gluten-free and low in sodium making them a popular ingredient in many vegan and vegetarian dishes. These golden chickpeas have a delicious nutty taste and buttery texture, and are a versatile pantry staple for so many different recipes.

Uses

Dried chickpeas require a long cooking time of 1-2 hours, however this can be shortened if soaked for 12-24 hours beforehand. Chickpeas are a noted ingredient in many Middle Eastern and Indian dishes. They can be cooked and eaten cold in salads, added to soups and stews to fill them out, or made into a delicious hummus paste. You can roast chickpeas in any range of herbs and spices to create amazing flavour and a great meal base, as done in these Chickpea Lettuce Cups. Ground chickpeas, called gram flour, can be shaped into balls and fried as falafel, such as in this Falafel Nourish Bowl. Try out this recipe for Coconut & Turmeric Curry; a delectable curry made from scratch using chickpeas as a hearty meal base.
