Palouse Brand

I bought the variety pack months ago, but just made the garbanzo beans this week. Dry garbanzos from the grocery need hours to boil so I expected little. Store beans do not even list country of origin, much less GMO status. I refuse to buy them any more. After soaking overnight, Palouse garbanzos were tender in 40 minutes cooking, and so delicious. You get a lot of eating in the variety pack. Well cleaned. Beautifully packed. A great gift. I made this with them, delicious. Garbanzo salad: soak 1 cup garbanzos overnight in 3 C water. Drain and simmer in 3 C water until tender, 40-60 min. Drain and cool. Mix 3 T olive oil, 3 T red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon oregano. Add drained beans, 1/2 C chopped red onion, 1/2 C chopped green pepper, 1 tomato chopped, 1/4 C black olives chopped or whole. Mix. Mix in 1/4 C crumbled feta cheese. If desired add a squirt of lime juice, some parsley. Chill. Haven't been able to cook anything so good in years. I haven't tried sprouts yet, but I hear sprouted beans are healthier, and these natural beans should sprout. The peas and lentils are also A+++
