australian chickpeas

NEW LOOK PACKAGING:

We're pretty darn excited to reveal that we're moving to our next-generation compostable pouch packaging for our 500g pulse sand grains, in line with our sustainability goals here at Mount Zero.

These incredible pouches are fully home-compostable and allow us to not only reduce waste, but also enable us to package our grains and pulses more efficiently. Oh, and by the way – they now come with a fully compostable snap-seal for easy pantry storage after opening!

Thought to have originated in Afghanistan, Kabuli chickpeas are lighter coloured and larger than the only other variety - the Desi chickpea. 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.

Kabul chickpeas are a great companion to fetta, mint, tomatoes and lamb. Dry chickpeas need to be soaked for a minimum of six hours and take around 1-2 hours to cook.
