Omega Chick Peas: dried chickpeas in a 25 kg sack for hummus, falafel and chana masala. Single 25 kg sack.
This is a 25 kg sack of dried chickpeas for restaurants, hummus producers and falafel kitchens. The chickpea, also called garbanzo, chana or Egyptian pea, is an annual legume and one of the earliest cultivated. Dried chickpeas give a better texture and flavour than canned and cost far less per portion. Soak them overnight in plenty of cold water, as they roughly double in volume, then simmer or pressure-cook for hummus, chana masala, stews and salads. For falafel, grind the soaked raw chickpeas with herbs, onion and spices rather than cooking them first. A sack this size should be decanted into food-grade bins with tight lids, kept off the floor on shelving in a cool, dry store, and used in rotation so older stock is cooked first.
