ORGANIC GREEN LENTILS AND CHICKPEAS FROM THE FARM

Organic chickpeas are legumes carefully grown on our family farm in Gers, ensuring optimal quality control and guaranteed traceability. These organic chickpeas are rich in proteins, fibers, and essential nutrients, making them a healthy and nourishing choice for your kitchen.

But chickpeas are not the only treasure of our fields:
our organic lentils, also grown on our family farm, complete this range of nutritious and versatile legumes. With their delicate taste and excellent nutritional profile, they are a must-have in a balanced diet.

HOW ARE THEY CULTIVATED
Organic Farming

Both our chickpeas and our lentils are cultivated using organic farming practices, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This guarantees products that are not only delicious, but also respectful of your health and the environment.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS
Chickpeas

Source of Proteins and Fibers: Chickpeas are rich in plant-based proteins and dietary fibers, making them a nourishing and filling food.
Essential Nutrients: They provide iron, zinc, and magnesium, contributing to a balanced diet.
Versatility in Cooking: Chickpeas can be used in soups, purées, salads, and roasted snacks, even replacing peanuts.

Lentils

Rich in Plant-Based Proteins: Lentils are an excellent protein source, making them a great ingredient for vegetarian or vegan cooking.
High in Fiber: They support digestion and help maintain a feeling of fullness.
Mineral-Rich: Loaded with iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, lentils help support energy and overall vitality.
Fast Cooking: Unlike chickpeas, lentils do not require soaking and cook quickly, making them perfect for everyday meals.

HOW TO USE THEM
Chickpeas

Soak your dry chickpeas overnight (about 12 hours). Drain, rinse, and cook in about three times their volume of water. Bring to a boil uncovered and let simmer for 1h30 until tender. Skim regularly. Once cooked, drain and cool. The cooking water (aquafaba) can be kept for recipes such as hummus.
In Cooked Dishes: Add to curries, stews, or casseroles.
In Salads: For added protein and texture.
In Hummus: Perfect for spreads and appetizers.
In Patties: Mix with herbs and spices for nutritious balls or patties.

Lentils

No soaking is required. Rinse them and cook them in three times their volume of water for about 20–25 minutes (or 10–15 minutes for coral lentils).
In Salads: Combine with vegetables and herbs for protein-rich meals.
In Soups: Add depth and creaminess to hearty recipes.
In Dahls: Ideal for Indian-inspired dishes rich in flavor and comfort.
In Vegetarian Patties: Their texture makes them perfect for plant-based burgers or croquettes.

STORAGE TIPS

Chickpeas:
Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Once cooked, they keep for several days in the refrigerator or can be frozen.

Lentils:
Also store in a dry, cool environment. Cooked lentils keep 3–4 days in the refrigerator and freeze very well.

Organic chickpeas and lentils are far more than simple cooking ingredients. They embody our commitment to quality, sustainability, and well-being, while bringing an authentic, rustic character to your favorite dishes. Add them to your daily meals and enjoy their exceptional nutritional benefits.
