Description
Nóstimo is Whole Food Earth's Mediterranean pantry range, and these Italian Organic Chickpeas are the everyday can you reach for again and again. Grown and canned in Italy from certified organic legumes (IT-BIO-007), they contain just two things: organic chickpeas and water. No added salt, no added sugar — the seasoning is left to you.
Soft, creamy and ready to eat, they take the effort out of cooking from dried. Drain and rinse, blend them smooth for hummus, roast them with olive oil and paprika, or simmer them into a chana masala. They are a versatile and useful base for weeknight bowls, soups and salads.
