Cicer arietinum (White Chickpeas, Kabuli Chana) Seeds
Cicer arietinum, commonly known as White Chickpeas or Kabuli Chana, is a highly nutritious legume with smooth, round, cream-colored seeds. Renowned for their nutty flavor and creamy texture, these chickpeas are a staple in cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern dishes. White Chickpeas are versatile, making them ideal for a wide variety of recipes, from hummus and falafel to curries and salads.
Characteristics
White Chickpeas grow as bushy plants reaching a height of 30–50 cm. The plants produce feathery green leaves and small white or pale pink flowers, which develop into short, plump pods containing one to two large seeds. These seeds are slightly larger than the Desi variety (Brown Chickpeas) and have a smoother texture.
Uses and Benefits
White Chickpeas are a culinary favorite for their versatility and flavor. They are used to make hummus, falafel, and soups, and are often roasted for snacks or added to salads and stews. High in protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, they support muscle growth, digestion, and heart health. They have a low glycemic index, making them a suitable choice for diabetic diets. Naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, White Chickpeas are also ideal for weight management and healthy eating.
Cultivation
White Chickpeas thrive in temperate and semi-arid climates, preferring well-drained, loamy, or sandy soils with a pH of 6.0–7.5. To prepare the soil, incorporate organic compost or well-rotted manure to enhance fertility. Sow seeds at a depth of 3–5 cm, spaced 20–25 cm apart in rows 30–45 cm apart. Chickpeas are drought-tolerant but require consistent moisture during flowering and pod development. Germination occurs within 7–10 days under favorable conditions. Pods mature in 90–120 days, and seeds should be harvested when the pods are dry and brittle.
Unique Features
White Chickpeas are known for their larger size, smoother texture, and nutty flavor compared to other chickpea varieties. They are easy to store and cook, making them a convenient choice for households and commercial kitchens. As a nitrogen-fixing legume, they also improve soil fertility, benefiting subsequent crops.
Growing Tips
Rotate crops annually to maintain soil health and reduce pests. Avoid waterlogging, as chickpeas prefer slightly dry conditions. Harvest pods promptly to ensure high-quality seeds and prevent loss.
Shipping
Available for shipping within India and worldwide. Orders are typically dispatched within 1–2 weeks.
