Description
 
Chickpeas or garbanzo beans, are plant-based powerhouses. 
 
High in plant protein, fibre and naturally gluten free*, these chickpeas straight from our paddocks and so 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 ie from vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, to those seeking gluten free products.*
 
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.
 
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!)
 
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.
 
They can be milled, roasted, puffed, spouted, soaked and put in cans/ jars, frozen etc. Then turned into dips, soups, salads, pies, sausage rolls. There are endless opportunities to get creative with this natural product.
 
Uses
Great as a dip (hummus), in soups, salads, stews, curries and as a snack. Popular in many Middle Eastern dishes. 
 
Working with dried chickpeas is much easier than you think.  See our recipe section for how to soak chickpeas.
