Chickpeas & Hinrichs Trading Company
Chickpeas’ heritage spans centuries, with seed cultivation dating back to the Middle East and spreading across the continents. Today, this ingredient’s demand continues to grow, appealing to a wide range of customers with its flavor, nutrition, and versatility in several cuisines. Chickpeas’ culinary applications continue to inspire chefs today, both in traditional applications as well as through contemporary dietary interests like vegan and plant-based foods.
