Garbanzo Beans / Chickpeas

Also called chickpeas. Firm texture, nutty flavor. Good in soups, salads, and stews, or just heated up with a little oil and seasoning.

How to use it

  • Rinse and drain canned chickpeas before using to remove the salty canning liquid.
  • The liquid in the can (called aquafaba) is useful as an egg substitute in some recipes - but most pantry cooking doesn't call for it.
  • Chickpeas stay firm when cooked, which makes them good for dishes where you want a little texture.

Storage

  • Unopened cans keep for years in the pantry.
  • Once opened, keep in the fridge in a covered container for 3-4 days.
