Palouse Brand Certified Glyphosate Residue Free Chickpeas | Garbanzo Beans | 5 lbs | Family Farmed in Washington State | Non-GMO Project Verified | Kosher Parve | USA Grown | Field Traced

Best Chickpeas ever. Plump up well over night - seem to be fresher than most. Cook up in less than a hour. Fragrant, silky, great tasting, Large bean - they have a thick soft membrane that is easily removed if needed. Keep up the amazing work Palouse Farms!

The chickpeas are high qualify, and soak up nicely. I make them for salads, and now I add them to just about anything I make. This is much cheaper than buying canned and far less salt. The taste is very fresh.

These beans cooked up perfectly in my electric pressure cooker. I highly recommend them for quality. I bought them online because I didn't see them at my regular stores. I have since found them at the dollar store. These cost me about three dollars a pound. The ones at the dollar store are about one dollar per pound. The difference is that these are the same size as what you get in a can while the dollar store beans are much smaller when cooked. I'm fine with either, as is my family, and so I will probably go to the dollar store kind to save money. However, I still enjoy these very much and can vouch for the quality. I'm sure that the reason the dollar store beans are so much cheaper is that they are so much smaller and therefore not as sellable as the larger beans. These are from Washington state whereas the dollar store beans are from an "ag export" company in California. I could research it, but I suspect that size is the main difference. The smaller ones did cook up a little crisper, but that could have been my cooking method. Since I largely bought these for making hummous (though I've not done it yet), size is not an issue for me. I suppose if you remove the thin peel to make ultra smooth hummous, the smaller ones might have more peel and therefore be less desirable that way too.Gourmets with exacting tastes, people who are picky eaters, and people with specific requirements due to the use of the product, using for entertaining and wanting larger beans, etc. might prefer these to the cheap dollar store beans. Also, the cheap ones are not always available at the dollar store. They are probably also available at the large middle eastern grocery store a mile from me, but I've not checked yet.In conclusion, this is really a superb product that I highly recommend for all uses of garbanzo beans. The only reason I don't use this exclusively is cost versus much cheaper, much smaller beans available at the dollar store. Three dollars a pound for a healthy food that expands considerably once cooked is still an excellent food value. Each pound of dry beans makes about the same as three cans of beans, so you're basically paying a dollar a can plus your cooking time, water, and fuel. They take about 30 minutes from dry beans and water to cooked perfectly in the electric pressure cooker.

I would give these organic glyphosate free chickpeas another 5 ⭐️ if I could. They are delicious & so nice to have at home in my pantry! They are nice & clean product. I just checked for additional debris (non found), rinsed then put to soak & then cook. We eat quite a lot of chickpeas thus so comforting this Palouse Farm cares to grow healthy wholesome produce w/o added chemicals.Thank you Palouse Farms!

Cooks nicely. I soak them overnite. Then add some baking soda to cooking water next day. Boil for five minutes then simmer an hour.

I love chickpeas, and for the first time, ordered the Palouse brand. I love the burlap bag, the fact that its grown in the US, and that I could get it in bulk at a reasonable price. What I didn't love is discovering a little rock in my bag, but I they tell you to sort through the chickpeas to avoid the possibility of finding debris in your bag, anyway, so... It was a good thing that I noticed this, or I would have definitely lost a tooth!Onto the good stuff. These chickpeas cooked to a really creamy consistency, and much quicker than store-bought chickpeas. My method is to use the "quick soak" method of adding two cups of chickpeas to a large pot, cooking on high heat, allowing them to boil for a minute, then turning off the heat, adding the lid, and letting it sit covered for an hour. Then I drain the chickpeas, refill with water, and cook on simmer. Usually the store-bought chickpeas take another 3-4 hours to cook to the tender consistency I like. These take more like 2-3 hours. Since I love to frequently air fry chickpeas for snacks and not just use them in salads or with veggies, I eat chickpeas a lot and appreciate having so much on hand. But since I DO eat them a lot, a 5lb bag lasted me less than 3 weeks. So I'm going to be ordering the 25 lb bag, which costs less per lb, anyway, over the 5 lb bag.Great chickpeas. Just watch out for them pebbles. ;)

These are big, beautiful chickpeas. They are super clean, and appear very fresh. I have never found any dirt or rocks. They cook up beautifully and taste wonderful.The best buy date is 31 months in the future. Plenty of time for me to get through this last order of 18 pounds.I buy in bulk and use them primarily for hummus. I do occasionally make roasted chickpeas, or eat them on a salad too. Sometimes I just eat them plain as a snack.I had a question about my order, and their customer service was prompt and courteous.This is my go-to brand. I would have no problem recommending this brand to anyone looking for dried chickpeas.
