Sapore di Sole Organic Black Chickpeas are an ancient native variety from southern Italy, rediscovered and preserved as part of the region’s rich agricultural biodiversity.
Immediately recognisable by their naturally dark colour and characteristic wrinkled skin, these traditional chickpeas have a more pronounced, aromatic flavour than their pale counterparts and a pleasantly firm texture. They are harvested and processed by hand following slow, traditional methods.
Naturally high in protein and fibre, black chickpeas are excellent in rustic soups, stews and salads, or simply dressed with extra virgin olive oil, herbs and vegetables.
Soak for approximately 12 hours before cooking, then simmer in fresh water for 80–90 minutes, or until tender.
