Organic chickpeas of high quality. Versatile chickpeas grown in Italy with a mild, nutty flavor. Contents: 500 g in a practical, resealable bag. Rich in protein and fiber, ideal as a base for various delicious dishes. Bio Knospe stands for comprehensive sustainable production and gentle processing. In agriculture and processing, significantly higher standards apply than in the Swiss or EU organic regulations.

The key differences between Bio Knospe and Swiss organic are: fewer additives and auxiliary substances (for example, a ban on unnecessary colorings and flavorings), regulations for environmentally friendly packaging materials and pest control measures, import restrictions when domestic supply is sufficient, a ban on air transport, and stricter criteria for water and energy consumption.

Social requirements include ensuring the health and safety of employees, compensation for overtime, and operational measures to promote biodiversity, such as maintaining hedges, forest edges, dry stone walls, and beekeeping. Stricter requirements apply to crop rotation, fertilization, and plant protection. All animals receive at least 90% Knospe feed, and ruminants at least 90% roughage. A code for fair trade relationships is adhered to. The goal is to ensure gentle processing that preserves the naturalness and authenticity of the food. Bio Knospe products may contain raw materials from the EU or Switzerland.
