Kala chana
The small dark chickpea, distinct from the pale kabuli.
Kala chana is its own crop. We do not let it borrow the other chickpea’s name. Grown, named, and carried toward a kitchen that already knows the difference.
What we are looking for: Dark chickpeas from growers who keep the two crops apart.

Before it reaches a kitchen
- A grower we can introduce with respect.
- A harvest that tastes like its name.
- Words on the pack that match what is inside.
