Great to have organic chick peas, and very good value for them. I've used these in salads, curries and to make my own hummus. They work well in everything.

These do the job really well. Home-made houmous is so easy to make and tastes so much better than buying it!

Good for fibre, calcium, iron and zinc. Creamy coloured, round, nutty and used widely in Middle Eastern cuisine. Ideal for a speedy hummus but delicious straight from the can too!

Review of Biona Organic Chickpeas in Water - Tue 9th Apr 2013
It's well worth stocking up on tins like these as a standby for the end of the week, it's really quick to just warm them up with some herbs and veg, or even whip up a hummous and have that with bread and raw veg.

Try slicing 500g carrots in half lenghtways, then combine with a drained tin of chick peas, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 tbsp turmeric. Transfer to a baking dish and roast in a preheated oven at 180 degrees/gas 4 for 20 mins, until the carrots are tender. Sprinkle generously with freshly chopped coriander leaves to serve as a side dish.
