Oltresole organic chickpeas, in the 5 kg convenience pack, are carefully selected from certified crops and subjected to rigorous quality controls to ensure purity, authentic flavor, and high nutritional values. Excellent for those following a vegetarian, vegan, or low-calorie diet, they represent a natural, healthy, and versatile protein base for a wide range of culinary preparations. From an organoleptic point of view, chickpeas have a creamy consistency once cooked and a rich yet delicate flavour, which lends itself to both rustic recipes and international dishes. They are a valuable source of plant-based proteins, fiber, vitamins (A, B, C, E, K) and minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc and phosphorus, contributing to a complete and balanced diet. Before cooking, it is advisable to leave the chickpeas to soak for at least 12 hours, changing the water once. After rinsing, cook them in clean water for about 45–60 minutes until they reach the desired softness. Chickpeas are perfect for making soups, cream soups, veggie burgers, cold salads, and even traditional Middle Eastern dishes like hummus and falafel.
