Chickpeas aren't from Chickens, or even from peas. A Chickpea is actually full of fiber, protein, and can even help regulate blood sugar. Chickpea cultivation goes as far back as the Bronze Age, 3000BC. Click here to find out more on the history of Chickpeas, and what other nutritional value they process. Promise you'll learn something! And, exactly what a Chickpea is!
Recently I tried the Pulse Roasted Chickpeas Variety 4 pack.
Since the Chickpeas are roasted, there is this earthy, full of taste crunch to them. They aren't hard to bite like you normally get from overly dehydrated snacks. I really enjoyed that they were roasted instead. All of the flavors were great, but the Spicy Lemon Zest was my absolute favorite of the Variety Pack. I usually like spicy, or sweet (Or combined.)
Cooking with Chickpeas.
I wanted to mention that these roasted Chickpeas are great to add to rice with dried onions & dried garlics in a Rice Maker. The rice absorbs the Roasted Chickpea taste, and becomes soft.
We add Chickpeas to just about everything. Even Mac & Cheese to trick the little ones. Pulse left the Mac & Cheese with a delicious Sea Salt & Garlic Taste. The Chickpeas do soften up some, I don't add them til I am putting the butter, and cheddar slices in the noodles to melt after the noodles have already been drained.
Pulse makes it more convenient to add the extra fiber, and protein to snack time, and meals.
