Frequently asked questions

  • What can I make with canned chickpeas?

    Hummus, chana masala, crispy roasted chickpeas, chickpea salads, curries, soups, tacos, and shakshuka are all quick and easy with canned chickpeas.

  • Are chickpeas a good source of protein?

    Yes. One cup of cooked chickpeas provides about 15g of protein and 12g of fiber, making them one of the best plant-based protein and fiber sources.

  • Do I need to peel chickpeas?

    No, peeling is optional. For an ultra-smooth hummus, peeling helps, but for most cooked dishes (curries, salads, roasted) there's no need.
