What Makes them Green?
Picked early, a GREEN CHICKPEA is simply a normal garbanzo bean harvested while immature and still in its live green state full of natural moisture and colour. Green Chickpeas do not need to be reconstituted with water & preservatives, rather they are rushed from the field to be washed, blanched and flash frozen, locking in the natural colour, moisture, nutrition and flavour!
