British-grown chickpeas are back! Delicious and tender chickpeas from a trial crop grown at Throws Farm in Essex, they benefited from last year's long hot summer. Growing chickpeas in the UK remains a challenge, but when the harvest is successful the chickpeas are among the best we’ve eaten – tasty and tender. Norfolk farmer Henry Raker harvested the first ever field-scale crop of British chickpeas on his Breckland farm in 2019. We and others are continuing to trial chickpea crops to find the best variety and approach to growing to ensure reliable harvests in our maritime climate. Show more
