Canned chickpeas

Canned chickpeas are pre-cooked chickpeas preserved in a can, ready to use in a wide variety of recipes. This ingredient offers the convenience of pre-prepared chickpeas, saving time in the kitchen without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Chickpeas are a legume native to the Middle East and the Mediterranean, widely cultivated and consumed around the world. They are a staple food in many traditional cuisines, such as Spanish, Indian, and Latin American.

In terms of properties, chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, B vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. With low fat content, they provide prolonged energy and aid digestion, making them ideal for balanced and vegetarian diets.

In Hispanic America, besides "garbanzos," they are known by regional synonyms such as chícharos (in some areas of Mexico and Central America) and kikíes (in certain Caribbean countries). However, "garbanzos" is the most universal and recognized term for this ingredient.

Canned chickpeas are perfect for preparing everything from classics like hummus or Madrid-style stew to salads, casseroles, and soups, providing a pleasant texture and a mild flavor that pairs well with multiple ingredients.
