Chickpeas are a type of legume, specifically legumes that are grown and harvested for their dry seed and grown as food, which are also known as pulses. Pulses are used in a variety of ways but a lot of them are used in gluten-free alternatives, which are becoming more popular.
Pulses are something that benefits the consumer and farmers because they are more sustainable in terms of being able to grow in harsher conditions with little water and are not as hard on the soil because they replenish soil nutrients.
Before joining Ardent Mills, the Hinrichs Trading Company ended their part of the supply chain at the whole chickpea. Now they have facilities to create chickpea flour.
OTHELLO – The Hinrichs Trading Company, a division of Ardent Mills, knows a lot about chickpeas, or garbanzo beans as they are also called. HTC manages the complete chickpea production from cleaning and packaging to shipping - to now chickpea flour.
