What are organic chickpeas?

Chickpeas are round, golden-yellow legumes with a mild, slightly sweet and nutty flavor. They have been cultivated for over 8000 years and are part of traditional cuisines from the Middle East to India. In Germany, they are becoming increasingly popular, and not without reason. They are versatile, nutritious, and suitable for dozens of dishes.

Our organic chickpeas are dried and without additives. This makes their consistency firmer than canned chickpeas, allowing them to retain their bite even in stews and on baking sheets.

Unlike canned chickpeas, they contain no salt or preservatives. You prepare them exactly as you wish.

Why organic? Grown without pesticides, richer in flavor, and better for the soil. That's why we offer organic products.

What do you use them for?

Chickpeas are the most versatile legume. They are the main ingredient in hummus and falafel, but work just as well in Indian curries, Moroccan tagines, Mediterranean salads, and oven dishes. Want something different? Roast them until crispy in the oven with olive oil and herbs as a healthy snack.

A special advantage of cooking them yourself: the cooking water, also known as aquafaba, is an excellent vegan egg substitute. Usable in mousse, baked goods, and meringues.

Preparation

For chickpeas from a recent harvest, soaking is not always necessary, but we always recommend it for the best result. Ideally, start the evening before.

• Rinse chickpeas thoroughly with cold water
• Place in a large pot and add three times the amount of water
• Soak for eight to twelve hours at room temperature
• Drain the soaking water and use fresh water for cooking
• Cook chickpeas for forty-five to sixty minutes for salads and curry
• For hummus or falafel, cook a little longer, ninety minutes, until completely soft

Tip: save the cooking water. This aquafaba can be used as a vegan egg substitute.

Storage

Store dried chickpeas in a well-sealed jar or bag in a cool, dry, and dark place. This way they will keep for up to a year. Avoid moisture, light, and heat to maintain quality.
