Unico Chick Peas for Everyday Cooking
Unico Chick Peas are firm, nutty garbanzo beans, cooked and canned ready to use and high in fibre — 8 g per half-cup serving. Their sturdy texture makes them the go-to base for hummus, falafel, salads, grain bowls, curries and oven-roasted snacks across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Indian cooking. No soaking required — just drain, rinse and cook. Firmer and nuttier than softer canned beans, they hold their shape whether blended smooth or left whole.
