Desi Chickpeas

Desi Chickpeas– Smaller, darker seed coat, robust flavor; primarily used in South Asian cuisines and milling into chickpea flour (besan).

Desi Chickpeas, also known as Kala Chana or Bengal Gram, are a variety of chickpeas widely cultivated in India, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and parts of the Middle East. They are smaller, darker, and more textured than Kabuli chickpeas, with a rough coat and nutty flavor. This variety is rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, making it highly valued in both culinary and nutritional markets worldwide.
