Many thanks.Still an additional brilliant article, this is exactly exactly why My spouse and I arrive to the blog page over and over again!
I was disappointed in the Australian chick peas I purchased from an International grocer in Woolloongabba
3 months ago. The dried product was much smaller than what I was used to preparing and the colour was
very dark, something akin with ochre. They took ages to cook and didnt improve in looks. I soldiered on and turned some into hummous. We just couldnt get passed the colour to properly evaluate the flavour and
wont buy anymore that looked like these.

I NEED SOMETHING LIKE CHICK PEAS TO BUILD UP MY SOIL AND AS A COUNTER AGAINST SERRATED TUSSOCK. WHERE MAY I BUY THE SEED TO GIVE IT A GO IN ABOUT 40 ACRES FOR AUTUMN SOWING
IF APPROPRIATE.

good post
Re stockists, try health food stores, Indian spice shops and the health food aisle of supermarkets, no specific brand names. Ted says they are around, you just need to check country of origin labelling.

Yes but where would one look to buy specifically local Australian-grown chickpeas? Any brand names of local-grown chickpeas, major stockists etc?
This is great news that there are local chickpeas. Another informative and well researched article Carli. I love chickpeas added to my salad leaves for summer protein. And, I'm not so sure I'm buying Australia. Now I will make sure! Thanks to SBS for the recipe links. I'll have to put some of my recipe ideas for chickpeas on my own food site. @frombecca x
