Harvesting

Organic chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are grown in warm, dry climates where they thrive in well-drained soil with moderate water requirements. The seeds are sown in spring and mature through the summer months, ready for harvest in late summer or early autumn. Once the pods turn brown and dry on the plant, they are collected and carefully removed from their pods to preserve their natural nutritional value.

After harvesting, the organic chickpeas are cleaned, dried, and processed into a fine flour. This flour is then used to create Organic Chickpea Fusilli, formed using a traditional pasta-making process. The dough is shaped and dried at low temperatures, ensuring that the pasta retains its natural plant-based protein, fibre, and essential minerals. As a naturally gluten-free and nutrient-rich ingredient, chickpea pasta offers a wholesome alternative to traditional wheat-based pasta.

The organic nature of Organic Chickpea Fusilli means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Chickpea Fusilli in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Chickpea Fusilli

Fusilli, a classic Italian pasta, originated in Southern Italy, where it was traditionally shaped by rolling dough around thin rods. The name "fusilli" comes from the Italian word "fuso" (spindle), reflecting its distinct spiral design, which helps trap sauces. Over time, bronze-cut techniques refined its porous texture, enhancing its ability to hold flavours.As pasta evolved, Chickpea Fusilli emerged as a gluten-free alternative, blending traditional craftsmanship with plant-based nutrition. Made from 100% organic chickpea flour, it retains the classic fusilli shape while offering higher protein and fibre. This fusion of Italian heritage and modern dietary needs provides a wholesome, gluten-free option without compromising on taste or texture.
