Nakhud Chickpeas (AFG)

Premium Chickpeas (Nakhud) from Afghanistan

Chickpeas, traditionally known as Nakhud in Afghanistan and Persia, form the heart of countless dishes from the Orient and South Asia. Sairas offers you these high-quality, natural Afghan chickpeas as an essential basis for authentic culinary experiences. Whether as a base for classic Persian specialties or as an indispensable ingredient for Indian foods and curries – this versatile legume impresses with its highest quality and yield.

Culinary Profile

Our Nakhud chickpeas are characterized by a fine, mild-nutty taste and an excellent texture. Unlike many conventional varieties, they retain a pleasant firmness even after soaking and gentle cooking. They absorb spices excellently and combine harmoniously with intense aromas such as cumin, coriander, garlic, and turmeric.

Usage & Recipes

The culinary applications are extremely diverse. Use the dried peas after soaking to prepare creamy hummus, crispy falafel, or hearty stews like Indian Chana Masala. Traditionally, Nakhud in Afghanistan is served in hearty soups (Shorba) or roasted as a spicy snack. As they are a valuable source of plant-based protein, they are also ideal for vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
