Chickpeas, canned
Mild, nutty, and slightly earthy with a soft, creamy bite.
Lens analyzedCanned chickpeas are cooked chickpeas packed in liquid, ready to drain and use without the soaking and long simmer dried chickpeas need. They hold their shape well in salads, curries, and roasted snacks.
Where it comes from
Chickpeas have long been a staple across the Mediterranean and South Asia, and canning them turned a dried legume that took hours to cook into a same-day pantry shortcut once industrial canning spread in the 1900s.
Buying it
Check the can for dents or bulging before buying, and rinse the chickpeas after opening to wash off the slightly metallic canning liquid.
Storing it
Keep unopened cans in the pantry; once opened, refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container.
Keeps about 2 years in the pantry.
