NON-GMO organic seed for sprouting
2,75 € – 71,50 €
Chickpea is one of the oldest and most widely consumed legumes in the world. Its sprouts are the ideal choice for those who want to enjoy this variety in its full flavour and nutritional value: as soon as they are sprouted, they release their delicate, nutty aroma and provide our organism with maximum nutrient intake, which is partially lost during cooking.

Continue to rinse them under water at least a couple of times a day and, if you do this, after just 3/5 days your organic Chickpea shoots will be ready to be used in your best recipes.
