Pedrosillano chickpeas originate from the village of Pedrosillo el Ralo in the province of Salamanca. This variety is characterized by being the smallest, with a rounded shape and a pointed peak. Their creaminess and delicate flavor make them perfect for a wide variety of dishes, providing an exceptional culinary experience. Additionally, these chickpeas are known for their ability to retain their shape and skin when cooked, making them visually appealing on the plate. Their high water absorption capacity, exceeding 100%, ensures they cook evenly and tastefully. From a health perspective, Pedrosillano chickpeas are an excellent source of iron and contain unsaturated fats that help lower cholesterol. They are also rich in magnesium, which protects the body from cardiovascular diseases, and their high fiber content improves intestinal transit. They combine an impressive range of nutrients, including calcium, potassium, zinc, selenium, and vitamin B, making them a very complete food.
