Chickpeas - dried 500gm VIC.

Mt Zero Organic Chickpeas 500gm - Produce of Australia 

Mount Zero Australian Organic Chickpeas are the premium Kabuli variety (originating in Afghanistan), which are known for being larger in size and creamier in colour and texture.

Chickpeas are gluten-free and are considered a great source of zinc, folate and protein. As with almost any legume, chickpeas are much better cooked from dry seed rather than from a can, as they have a sweeter flavour and creamier texture.

With their lovely texture and nutty flavour, Kabuli chickpeas are a great companion to fetta, mint, tomatoes, lamb or spiced with Middle Eastern flavours. 

All packaging is compostable and/or recyclable.

PREPARE
Dry chickpeas need to be soaked for a minimum of six hours and take around 30 minutes to cook in plenty of simmering UNSALTED water.
RAPID BOIL - Bring saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Add soaked, drained chickpeas and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until tender. Drain well.
