Desi Chickpeas

CA$6.50

Desi chickpeas are the original form of the chickpea: smaller, darker, and richer in flavour than the larger kabuli types most people know. Their nutty, earthy taste and firm texture make them a favourite in both traditional dishes and modern, whole‑food cooking. For home cooks who love ingredients that feel nourishing and substantial, desi chickpeas are a true staple.
