✦ Concentrated protein and folate ✦ Faster cooking split legume ✦ Manganese and iron ✦ Dal and soup staple

Dried split Kabuli chickpeas are dehulled and halved chickpeas with the outer skin removed. Raw, they show concentrated protein, folate, manganese, and iron. Splitting reduces cooking time and increases surface area, which also slightly reduces their resistant starch content compared to whole chickpeas.

🍳
Preparation note

Rinse well before cooking; no overnight soak needed. Simmer in fresh water 25-35 minutes until soft. The split format absorbs spices and aromatics more readily than whole chickpeas.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food. NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label. They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.

Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead. How we source and normalise our data →
