Each season we will send you a box with: 5 x __organic chickpeas__ (1kg paper bags) Variety “Amelia”: They are small, round chickpeas characterised by their very marked cotyledons and pointed tips. They have a light brown, orangish colour with slightly marked creases. It is a chickpea of the “Pedrosillano” variety, the smallest within the varieties of chickpeas but also the most appreciated for its buttery and intense flavour. Once cooked the “Pedrosillano” chickpea perfectly retains its shape and its skin does not peel. Our chickpeas are grown dry and organic so little water and nitrogen are necessary. Hence, you will need to soak them all night and cook them longer than usual. These chickpeas are perfect for making the famous "cocido madrileño" and also ideal for preparing cold dishes such as salads and hummus. The conservation of this chickpea is simple, as all legumes need to be in a cool and dry place. Keeping them in a covered jar in the pantry will guarantee their perfect conservation. As they contain very little water you will be able to keep them for months.
