Known as Ceci Neri in Italy, this heirloom legume has a firm texture and a delicious nutty flavor.
Black Garbanzos are much denser than classic Garbanzos, making them ideal for salads, stews, or even baked dishes. The skins are thicker but they are not chewy or tough, just a little more interesting.
The beans are also great for sprouts, soups, stews, and pasta salads.
Chickpeas need a long growing season with 95-115 days to maturity. Garbanzo beans grow best when daytime temperatures are between 70-80 degrees and nighttime lows are 65 and above.
Contains 25 heirloom seeds
