Garbanzo beans, or “chickpeas,” are part of the legume family. Instead of having the flat oval shape, they are rounder than most beans and are usually a pale cream colour.
These garbanzo beans are grown here in North America by Chickplease and are of the Kabuli variety. Chickplease is run by the third generation of Zaibek family who have been in business since 1971 in Stockton California, originally as Sultan Agro. Following a Canadian crop failure in 2023, Cullen’s sourced exclusively US-grown chickpeas from the Zaibek family and their network of family growers. Cullen’s Foods believes in total transparency – enter the lot code from the bulk bag to cullensfoods.com/#tracking to find out who grew it, when it was harvested, and where it was packed.
About the Producer:
Cullen’s Foods sells five different types of pulses, organically grown across three Canadian provinces by over a dozen farmers on more than 500 acres. Every Cullen’s product – dried and canned – is traceable by lot code right back to the farmer who grew it at www.cullensfoods.com. Ben Cullen takes joy in connecting the pieces of this puzzle back to the farmers, producers, and friends who put value into Canadian organic production.
