Kabuli Chickpeas

Kabuli chickpeas are large, light-coloured chickpeas characterized by their smooth, rounded appearance and mild, nutty flavor. Their size, attractive appearance and creamy texture after cooking make them particularly suitable for hummus, falafel, salads, ready-to-eat foods and other culinary preparations.

Kabuli chickpeas are among the principal types of chickpeas grown and exported by Canada.

Split Chickpeas

Split chickpeas, commonly known as chana dal, are produced by removing the outer hull of chickpeas and splitting the seeds into smaller portions. Compared with whole chickpeas, they generally require less cooking time and develop a tender texture while retaining a mild, slightly nutty flavor.

They are widely used in dals, curries, soups, stews and a variety of traditional South Asian dishes.

Sorliof Canada offers chickpeas from different origins, including Canada when available, in conventional or certified organic options according to specifications and availability.
