NUTRITION & FRESHNESS
Why Fresh Green Chickpeas?
Fresh Green Chickpeas are a naturally nutritious, plant-based food. They provide protein, dietary fiber and naturally occurring nutrients including folate, iron and potassium. They are naturally low in saturated fat and contain no trans fat.
Unlike traditional dried chickpeas, Fresh Green Chickpeas are harvested while still young and green, giving them a tender texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. They can be enjoyed simply roasted or steamed, added to salads and entrées, or blended into dips and spreads.
Fresh Green Chickpeas are minimally processed and can be incorporated into a wide variety of meals as a fresh alternative to dried or canned chickpeas.
