Organic Greek Medium Chickpeas (Revithia) 500g

The Heart of the Mediterranean Diet

Legumes are the cornerstone of Greek cuisine, and our Organic Greek Medium Chickpeas are among the finest you can find. Sourced from certified organic farms in Greece, these chickpeas (known locally as Revithia) offer an authentic taste that generic varieties simply cannot match. They are a staple ingredient for anyone looking to follow a healthy, balanced Mediterranean diet.

Thin-Skinned and Creamy

The most important characteristic of these chickpeas is their thin skin. This quality ensures that they cook faster and more evenly than standard varieties. Once boiled, they become incredibly tender and buttery („vrastera“), melting in your mouth without losing their shape. This makes them perfect for creating rich, velvety textures in your dishes.

Nutritional Benefits

Including Organic Greek Medium Chickpeas in your weekly meal plan is a delicious way to support your health. They are a nutritional powerhouse:

• High Protein: excellent for vegetarian and vegan diets.

• Rich in Fibre: promotes healthy digestion and satiety.

• Packed with Minerals: a great source of iron, folic acid, and magnesium, which contribute to heart health and energy levels.

Endless Culinary Possibilities

These versatile legumes can be the star of many dishes. Use them to make the famous Greek Sunday soup, „Revithada,“ slow-cooked with lemon and rosemary. They are also excellent in cold summer salads with fresh vegetables or blended into a smooth, authentic hummus.

Preparation Tip

Soak for 8-10 hours in cold water before cooking to ensure the best texture and reduce cooking time.
