Nakhud Chickpeas (AFG) 1kg

Premium chickpeas (Nakhud) from Afghanistan – 1 kg

The chickpea, traditionally known as nakhud in Afghanistan and Persia, forms the heart of countless dishes from the Orient and South Asia. With these high-quality, natural Afghan chickpeas, Sairas offers you an essential foundation for authentic culinary experiences. Whether as the basis for classic Persian specialties or as an indispensable ingredient in Indian dishes and curries, this versatile legume impresses with its exceptional quality and yield.

Culinary profile

Our Nakhud chickpeas are distinguished by their delicate, mildly nutty flavor and excellent texture. Unlike many conventional varieties, they retain a pleasant firmness even after soaking and gentle cooking. They absorb spices exceptionally well and blend harmoniously with intense aromas such as cumin, coriander, garlic, and turmeric.

Uses & Recipes

The culinary possibilities are incredibly diverse. Use the dried peas, after soaking, to prepare creamy hummus, crispy falafel, or hearty stews like Indian chana masala. Traditionally in Afghanistan, nakhud are used in rich soups (shorba) or roasted as a savory snack. As they are a valuable source of plant-based protein, they are also ideal for vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
