Our organic chickpeas are high in protein and make an excellent replacement for meat in vegetarian and vegan diets. They're the main ingredient in hummus, which is a dip made with mashed chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic.
Chickpeas are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. One popular way to eat them is by adding them to salads, soups or sandwiches. Another way to enjoy chickpeas is to roast them, which makes for a delicious and crunchy snack. You can also incorporate them into veggie burgers or tacos.
