Chickpeas 1KG

recently purchased the Aksoy Premium Quality Dry Chickpeas XL Size (12mm) in a 1KG package, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality. As an avid home cook, I love experimenting with different recipes and recently tried making homemade hummus using these chickpeas. The results were phenomenal! The chickpeas were of excellent quality, with a perfect size and texture. They cooked evenly and easily, becoming tender and soft in no time. The flavor was rich and nutty, exactly what I look for in chickpeas. I was able to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency for my hummus, thanks to these high-quality chickpeas. What I particularly appreciate about this product is the generous 1KG package size. It will undoubtedly last me for ages, allowing me to make countless batches of hummus or experiment with other chickpea-based dishes. The value for money is exceptional, and I can confidently say that I will be purchasing this product again in the future.

These are nice and big, and cook up within half an hour following an overnight soak - usually a good sign that they haven't been sitting in a warehouse for years. I've used them for hummus and pasta e cece so far, and they're very tasty. The size means they'll probably roast well for a snack so I'll be giving that a try next. Decent price considering the quality too.

Superb quality large dry chick peas. Twice the size of tinned varieties once cooked. A big 5 kg bag lasts a long time even if you are someone who uses a lot. I eat them like nuts once cooked. Healthy and very economical.

Very good but a bit expensive hence the 4 stars

it’s extremely satisfying finding something both cheap and delicious.

Got this 5kg bag of dry chickpeas on sale for just over £5, which felt like an absolute bargain at the time. Fast forward about 5 months and we’re still using the same bag, and the chickpeas are still in really good condition. We’ve mainly used them for chickpea curry and also as a simple breakfast option. I usually soak them overnight and then boil them the next morning with just enough water to cover them. About 30 minutes later of cooking, they’re ready, and it makes a filling and healthy start to the day. Both adults and kids in our home have been eating them instead of cereals some mornings, which has worked out well. The only small downside is the packaging. It would be much better if it had a resealable strip, because once opened it’s a bit tricky to store neatly over a long period. Overall though, for the price and how long it lasts, it’s been very useful and good value for everyday cooking.

Really good-double if not triple the size of a normal chickpea!!! I’d definitely buy again!!

I bought these after reading so many positive reviews. Despite soaking them overnight they didn't swell up as much as expected. Not a good sign, but didn't think much of it. When cooking them they weren't ready after the usual cooking time. I overcooked them by a lot to even have them lose the starchy flavour. I must have received old chickpeas, which given the price was quite disappointing.
