Heirloom Black Garbanzo Beans

These rare black chickpeas deliver an earthy, almost wild nuttiness that standard garbanzos can't match. Smaller and denser than their beige cousins, they hold their shape beautifully in stews and salads while adding a striking pop of midnight color to every dish. Ancient variety, modern farming Originating from India and Italy, these heirloom black garbanzo beans are grown for us in Northern California using certified organic practices, no synthetic pesticides, ever. Small-scale farming at its finest. Nutrition edge Black chickpeas pack higher antioxidant levels than standard varieties thanks to their dark anthocyanin-rich skin, the same compounds that make blueberries a superfood. More fiber, more minerals, more flavor. Use them everywhere you'd use regular chickpeas: hummus with deeper color and taste, crispy roasted snacks, curries, pasta e ceci, or tossed into grain bowls. They're especially prized in Indian cooking for chana masala. 1 lb bag
