Versatile Chickpea Purées

Carmelina Brands' 'Chick Pea Puree' Supports the Demand for Legumes

— January 4, 2019 — Lifestyle
In response to the growing demand for legumes and better-for-you food options, Carmelina Brands debuted its Chick Pea Puree at the 2019 Winter Fancy Food Show. The versatile, preservative-free puree boasts no added salt, sugars or citric acid—just chickpeas—for a simple, gluten-free, Non-GMO Project Verified formula. The product is packaged in a triple-barrier, BPA-Free aseptic bag, which can be opened, seasoned and blended to create the desired consistency.

With this innovative Chick Pea Puree, a wide range of sweet and savory snacks, dips and meals and be prepared, including everything from hummus to sandwich spreads and baked goods—all without the need to soak chickpeas for an extended period of time, cook or drain them.

Protein-rich chickpeas are now being used as the bases of many unexpected edible products, including everything from cookie dough and nut-free spreads to pastas.
