Organic Fresh Steamed Chickpeas

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a type of legume. These organic chickpeas are steamed, a cooking method that uses moist heat to cook the food. Steaming helps retain nutrients and a tender texture.

Chickpeas are a good source of plant-based protein and fiber. Manufacturers use them in dips like hummus, in salads, or as a meat substitute. Their mild flavor and creamy texture make them versatile in many dishes.

Chickpeas are a nutritious whole food. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated chickpeas and found them to be a safe food source. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients, contributing to a healthy diet.
