Product Specifications
Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, have a rich history dating back approximately 7,500 years when they were first cultivated in Mesopotamia. At Vedniti Impex, we take pride in offering high-quality chickpeas, with India being a major player in global production, accounting for approximately 70% of worldwide chickpea production in 2019.
We offer two main varieties of chickpeas: Desi and Kabuli. These can be distinguished by factors such as shape, thickness, and size, and they come in a range of colors from light tan to dark black. Kabuli chickpeas are particularly known for their cream or white color.
Chickpeas are a key ingredient in popular dishes around the world. For instance, they are essential for making hummus and are used to create delicious falafel patties when soaked, coarsely ground, and mixed with herbs and spices before being fried to perfection.
In Indian cuisine, chickpeas hold significant importance and are used in a variety of preparations. They are commonly found in salads, soups, stews, and curries. One notable dish is chana masala, a flavorful and aromatic curry. Chickpeas are also used in many other food products that incorporate this versatile ingredient.
