Chickpeas – Organic

Organic chickpeas in a jar, pre-cooked

Maison Ederki's organic chickpeas are pre-cooked chickpeas in a jar, with a mild, slightly nutty flavor. Tender in texture, ready to use, and from certified organic farming. No long soaking, no hours of cooking – simply drain and get started.

Organic chickpeas from Maison Ederki are pre-cooked chickpeas in a jar from the Basque gourmet producer in Mouguerre near Bayonne. Cream-colored, mild-nutty, and pleasantly tender, they are from certified organic cultivation and can be used directly from the jar – for hummus, curry, salad, and many more dishes.

When you open the jar, they sit plump and bright in their clear brine. Finely and gently cooked, the peas retain their round shape and do not fall apart. Nutty, creamy, tender – that is how they taste, mild and unobtrusive enough to adapt to any cuisine, from Mediterranean to Oriental.

Mild, nutty, pleasantly tender

Pre-cooked and gently prepared in the jar, the chickpeas are tender yet firm enough to hold their shape.

The taste is mild-nutty, the texture creamy and fine – qualities that have made the chickpea a favorite in Mediterranean and Oriental cuisine for centuries. From hummus in Beirut to garbanzo stew in Andalusia, it is at home everywhere.

Because they are already cooked, you save yourself the overnight soaking and the long simmering. Open the jar, drain, ready – rarely is a warm meal on the table faster. That is exactly what makes this little legume the silent hero of quick cooking.

An all-rounder from hummus to curry

Whether creamy hummus, spicy curry, crunchy salad, or hearty stew – these organic chickpeas go with everything.

As hummus with tahini, lemon, and garlic, they become at their creamiest when pureed until velvety. In a salad with tomato, cucumber, and parsley, they add substance; in a curry with coconut milk and cumin, they absorb the spices. And roasted in the oven with olive oil and paprika, they become a crunchy snack for an apéritif.

They also go well in a Basque vegetable soup or with a piece of grilled meat. Throw a handful into a shakshuka or a stew with chorizo – the chickpea gratefully takes on any seasoning. This turns just a few ingredients into a warming meal for the evening in minutes.

If you like it classic, place organic white beans from the same house next to them. You can find more canned goods and preserves right next door.

Basque organic quality since 1942

Maison Ederki has stood for quality from the Basque Country for more than 80 years since 1942 and, in addition to its classics, maintains its own organic line.

In Mouguerre, a village on the Adour near Bayonne, around 18 people work on gently bringing good raw materials into jars. The chickpeas come from certified organic farming and are filled only with water to preserve their delicate, nutty flavor.

Having a jar in your cupboard is worth its weight in gold when you need to be quick but still want it to taste good. This way, you bring a piece of Basque culinary tradition into your home with no effort at all. You can find the entire range from Maison Ederki right next door.
