British chickpeas are back! These delicious and tender chickpeas are the harvest of the third year of British production. In the face of challenging summer weather, Henry Raker managed to harvest a crop on the light Breckland soils of Norfolk. Enjoy them! |
Norfolk farmer Henry Raker harvested the first ever field-scale crop of British chickpeas in 2019. This year's crop was harvested in September and has now been cleaned and packed. After a tricky summer in the field it'd be fair to say that the 2021 harvest chickpeas don't look as perfect as their imported cousins, but they taste fantastic. The third image shows the cooked chickpeas, as you can see there's some discolouration.

Cooking instructions
Soak the chickpeas for 6 hours. These UK-grown chickpeas contain some discoloured darker chickpeas. Though the discolouration is cosmetic, if you prefer you can pick these out between soaking and cooking. (That said, if you're making humous or similar there's really no need to do this.)
Cover with water or stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 to 50 minutes until the chickpeas are soft. Add more water if needed.

Whole Fava Beans, Organic
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
£1.99
Britain's original bean, the fava bean is delicious, nutritious and good for the soil. Our Organic Whole Fava Beans are perfect for spicy Egyptian ful medames, truly British baked beans, stews, curries, salads and more.
Our current crop of whole fava beans are the unusually small, round and wonderfully tender Maris Bead variety, bred over 50 years ago at the Plant Breeding Institute on Maris Lane near Cambridge. Whether they're cooked from dry or used canned, we think these are our best ever whole fava.
Fava Bean Chips
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
£2.49 £3.78
Fava Bean Chips cook just like Split Fava Beans, only a little faster as they're smaller pieces of bean. They cost less (cheap as chips?) than the larger Split Fava Beans but are just as tasty, versatile and easy to cook.
Use our Fava Bean Chips to make dal, falafel or hummus - or add a handful or more to soups, stews or curries. The beans get softer and softer the longer they're cooked.
