Ingredients Analysis and Taste
- 🌱 Ethical Farming: Grown following a rigorous annual crop rotation cycle, these chickpeas enrich the soil without depleting it, ensuring a sustainable harvest with a genuine flavor.
- 🧑🍳 Thin and Wrinkled Skin: The Pascià variety is visually distinguished by its corrugated texture. However, its true strength lies in its extremely thin skin, which ensures quick, even cooking and an almost melting texture on the palate.
- 💪 Excellent Nutritional Profile: With 24.5g of protein and 14.7g of fiber per 100g, they are a highly satiating food that supports intestinal transit and provides clean, long-lasting energy.

🍷 The Taste Ambassador recommends:
Thanks to their ultra-thin skin, the Pascià variety is the secret to sauces and dips (like hummus) with a buttery texture, without needing to "peel" the chickpeas one by one! Before cooking, always remember to let them soak in cold water for at least 12 hours. A trick from our farming tradition? Cook them over very low heat, preferably in a terracotta pot (the pignata), adding a bay leaf to make them even more digestible. Golden rule: never salt the water at the beginning, or the skin will become tough. Add salt only after they are fully cooked!
