Chick Peas ORGANIC (per 500g)

Organic chickpeas are a versatile store-cupboard staple for quick, nourishing meals. Their mild flavour and satisfying texture work well in everything from soups and salads to curries, dips and baked dishes.

As dried chickpeas, they are easy to cook in batches and keep on hand for busy weeks. They are also naturally rich in plant-based protein and fibre, making them a reliable choice for vegetarian and vegan cooking.

If you prefer to buy in a more considered way, our chickpeas 400g refill is a simple, low-waste option. It is ideal for topping up your cupboard without overbuying, whether you normally shop for bulk chickpeas or pick up a smaller refill bag.

Simple meal ideas with chickpeas

These pantry pulses are easy to turn into everyday meals with just a few extra ingredients.

• Houmous: blend with tahini, lemon, garlic and olive oil for a smooth dip.
• Curries and stews: add body, texture and plant protein to comforting dishes.
• Salads: mix with herbs, roasted vegetables and a sharp dressing for a filling lunch.
• Tray bakes: roast with spices for a crisp topping or side dish.
• Baking: use chickpea flour in savoury flatbreads and gluten-free recipes.

How to prepare dried chickpeas

Soak before cooking for a better finish

For the best texture, soak the chickpeas for 8 to 12 hours. Drain, rinse well and cover with fresh water before simmering until tender.

• Stovetop: cook gently for around 3 hours
• Pressure cooker: cook for about 40 minutes
• Yield: 1 cup of dried chickpeas makes roughly 2.5 cups cooked

If you are replacing tinned beans in a recipe, use about 100g of dried chickpeas for each 400g tin, based on drained weight.

Low-waste refill packaging

Our organic chickpeas are hand packed in a paper bag or a returnable organic cotton bag. The cotton bag has a £1 deposit, which is refunded when it comes back to us.

This makes them a practical choice for shoppers looking for everyday ingredients with less single-use packaging.

Storage and kitchen tips

Store your chickpeas in a cool, dry place and keep the bag sealed after opening. For extra convenience, cook a larger batch and freeze portions so they are ready for quick lunches and dinners.

Please note that we are the retailer, not the manufacturer of the products we sell.

We work hard to keep our product information accurate and up to date. However, manufacturers may occasionally change ingredients, descriptions, or production practices without notifying us. We recommend always checking the product label upon receipt.

For loose products, if you require a specific country of origin or best before date, please contact us before placing your order.

Allergen Information

As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.

This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.

Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.

If you are unsure whether a product is suitable for your allergy, please contact us before purchasing.
