Ceci Piccoli (Small Chickpea)

$ 7.25

Small, dense nuggets of garbanzo love with hints of nuts.

Quick cooking and versatile, these small chickpeas are a well-known secret in Italy. Because they are smaller, they have more skin, which is thin, but it pleasantly changes the texture and flavor. You'll find all sorts of uses for these—from salads to minestrone to spreads.

Limited harvest.
