Believed to have originated in the Levant region, chickpeas are a key component of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern diets. Sometimes called garbanzo beans, these small legumes add a heavy dose of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and plant-based protein to pretty much any meal. Unlike canned versions, our regeneratively grown heirloom chickpeas contain less sodium and eliminate the risk of harmful chemical contaminations. Plus, they’re soil-fixers, with bacteria that transform the nitrogen in the air into the organic form that plants need to grow.
