Chickpeas, Black, Heirloom, Non-GMO

Small Town Specialties Heirloom Black Chickpea (Garbanzo Bean) these originated in Kabul Afghanistan, but were grown here locally in Colusa County, CA. What started as an experiment with just a handful of beans, became a hobby with a flourishing crop. We are excited to introduce these Heirloom Black Chickpeas, to the local food market and throughout the US.

These Heirloom Black Chickpeas are a smaller bean, with a firm texture, and have a smoky flavor that is memorable. Non-Gmo and Gluten-free!

These beans are dried, so the shelf life is a couple of years, if kept in a cool dry environment. These are your typical dried bean. So please soak overnight and rinse before cooking.

There are many different ways to cook/use these chickpeas:

• Throw some in a crockpot with your favorite broth, onions, spices and bay leaf
• Cowboy Caviar- a crowd favorite appetizer!
• Roasted Chickpeas- a great snack or appetizer!
• Chickpea burgers- a vegetarian patty
• Chickpea "Meatless" balls
• Chickpea "flourless" chocolate brownies.

*Packaged in a facility that handles tree nuts. Not including peanuts.
