Rancho Gordo - Garbanzo Bean

DESCRIPTION A slightly nutty-flavored classic bean, essential for Middle Eastern, Mexican, and European cooking. If you are used to canned Garbanzo beans, our Garbanzos will be a revelation. Firm yet creamy, with an addictive flavor and texture. New-crop harvest ensures quicker cooking and fresher flavor. Unlike most of our other beans, Garbanzos aren't indigenous to the Americas, but we love them so much and the imported crops tend to be so old and dusty that we make this one of our California crops.

Rancho Gordo was founded in 2001 by Steve Sando in Napa, California, with a mission to preserve and promote heirloom bean varieties that were disappearing from American agriculture. We carry Rancho Gordo because they represent the quality and character we look for in everything at The Ambrosian Pantry.

Pairs with: Soups, stews, salads, chili, or as a hearty side dish.
Perfect for: Plant-based protein seekers, heirloom ingredient enthusiasts, and home cooks building a quality pantry. Discover this and our full range of artisan products at The Ambrosian Pantry, 263 Josephine St in Cherry Creek, Denver. Also available at theambrosianpantry.com.
