Characteristics:

Organic Sicilian Black Chickpeas they are Sicilian legumes produced by organic farming , without the use of chemical treatments. They have a characteristic black color , due to the richness of anthocyanins, and a particularly intense flavour characterized by sweet aromatic notes that go well with the acidic notes of tomato or with bitter vegetables such as radicchio.

Morphological characteristics and appearance:

Prince seed of Sicilian biodiversity, recovered in internal island areas. Seed black externally, with yellowish white pulp. Angular and wrinkled shape, medium caliber. The shape of the plant is tall and erect. Numerous local populations highlight the rusticity of the plant, low production yields and good adaptation to biophysical stress during the annual cultivation cycle.

Nutritional and organoleptic characteristics:

Intense flavor and excellent consistency due to the high fiber content in the seed coat. The dark color reveals the presence of anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants, and only part of it is released during cooking. Ferrous and herbaceous aroma, does not require ingredients that enhance the flavor. All you need is a drizzle of oil and a few bay leaves during cooking. Recommended aromatic herbs: thyme, tarragon and salicornia, which enrich it with the beneficial properties common to seaweed. Black chickpea is characterized by sweet aromatic notes that go well with the acidic notes of tomato and lemon.

Gastronomic use:

Intense flavour, recommended for use in soups with bitter or sweet vegetables. It pairs well with seafood flavors, in dishes with fish, molluscs and crustaceans, excellent cream soups, hummus and falafel, creams to accompany calamari and squid, side dishes for smoked meats and fried peppers and cardoncelli mushrooms.
