Description
 
It not are to see why Chickpeas or garbanzo beans, are plant-based superfood.   They can be milled, roasted, puffed, spouted, soaked and put in cans/ jars, frozen etc. Then turned into dips, soups, salads, main meals or baked goods. There are endless opportunities to get creative with this natural product.
 
High in plant protein, fibre and naturally gluten free, these chickpeas straight from our paddocks as mother nature intended do not have any add sugar, dairy or preservatives and they are not genetically modified.
 
As a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fibre, chickpeas may offer a variety of health benefits, such as improving digestion, aiding weight management and reducing the risk of several diseases.
 
Chickpeas are a relatively inexpensive food and are a great way to cater for families with a diverse range of dietary needs eg from vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, gluten free to simply the healthy minded.
 
Chickpeas can be stored in your pantry for months and are handy to have on hand just like rice and pasta (but packed with a few more nutrients!)
 
They also expand in volume when cooked.  One cup of dried chickpeas can make almost three cups of cooked, making meals go further for larger families or those on a tight budget.
 
For those time poor individuals and families who need chickpeas in a hurry, cooked chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months. Available for use whenever you need them.
