They are used in traditional dishes like falafel, fattah, and hummus, and appear in winter street-food soups.
For generations, chickpeas have been a staple ingredient in Egyptian households.

Usage

  • Use for making hummus

Chickpeas are a good source of plant protein and fibre. They can help make meat-free meals more filling when combined with vegetables and grains.
