Organic chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are grown in warm, dry climates such as the Mediterranean region, India, and the Middle East. The chickpea plant thrives in well-drained soil and requires a moderate amount of water. The seeds are sown in the spring and are ready for harvest in the late summer or early autumn. Chickpeas are composed of complex carbohydrates, protein, fibre, and essential nutrients such as folate, iron, phosphorus, and manganese. They are typically harvested when the pods have turned brown and dry on the plant. The pods are then collected and the chickpeas are removed from the pods.

After harvesting, organic chickpeas are often processed by cleaning, drying, and packaging. The natural raw product is a light beige or tan colour. As a natural raw product, chickpeas are already rich in nutrients, making them a popular choice for health-conscious foodies and those seeking plant-based protein sources.

The organic nature of means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

You’ll receive your Organic Chickpeas in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
