Rancho Gordo Garbanzo Beans - 1lb

A slightly nutty-flavored classic bean, essential for Middle Eastern, Mexican and European cooking. We are so grateful Racho Gordo grows this Mediterranean crop here in California!

Also called chickpeas this bean is essential for hummus but they're great in soups and salads too. For salads, try skipping the lettuce and go for the crunch. Celery, carrots, onions, Garbanzos (chickpeas) and your favorite dressing make for a great salad.

Lots of recipes recommend baking soda and 24 hour soaking to soften Garbanzos. We find this unnecessary with our new crop But hey, try it first and let us know!

Suggestions: Salads, hummus, soups, dips, snacks

Ingredients: Garbanzo beans
16oz bag
