ORGANIC CHICKPEAS FROM THE FARM

Organic chickpeas are legumes carefully grown on our family farm in Gers, ensuring optimal quality control and guaranteed traceability. These organic chickpeas are rich in proteins, fibers, and essential nutrients, making them a healthy and nourishing choice for your kitchen.

HOW ARE THEY CULTIVATED

Organic Farming: Chickpeas are cultivated using organic farming practices, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This ensures high-quality chickpeas, free from harmful residues for health and the environment.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF CHICKPEAS

Source of Proteins and Fibers: Chickpeas are rich in plant-based proteins and dietary fibers, making them a nourishing and filling food.

Essential Nutrients: They are also a source of many essential nutrients, such as iron, zinc, and magnesium, contributing to a balanced diet.

Versatility in Cooking: Chickpeas can be used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, purees, or salads. They are also excellent when roasted and lightly salted as a snack, replacing peanuts, for example.

HOW TO USE THEM

Soak your dry chickpeas overnight (about 12 hours). Drain and rinse them, then put them in a pot of water (about 3 times their volume of water). Bring to a boil (uncovered) and let cook for 1h30 or until the chickpeas become tender. Skim regularly. When the chickpeas are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them drain and cool. The cooking water can be saved and used for your recipes like hummus.

In Cooked Dishes: Add organic chickpeas to cooked dishes such as curries, stews, or casseroles for a creamy and flavorful texture. In Salads: Incorporate them into fresh salads to add a touch of proteins and fibers. In Hummus: Turn them into a delicious puree to prepare homemade hummus, perfect as a spread. In Balls or Patties: Mix them with spices and herbs to form tasty and nutritious vegetable balls or patties.
