Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my black chickpeas stay hard after cooking?
Older legumes and very hard water can slow softening, so give them a full overnight soak and add extra cooking time.
Can I sprout kala chana from this bag?
Yes, soak the chana overnight, drain, and keep it covered in a damp cloth for a day or two until small tails appear.
How is kala chana different from kabuli chana?
Kala chana is smaller and darker with a thicker skin and nuttier taste, while kabuli chana is the larger beige chickpea used for chole and hummus.
