VANA Green Chickpea Superfood Bowl
Greens have more fun. These bowls bring chickpeas front and center—but not your typical blonde chickpeas. Instead, Vana serves up green chickpeas, which boast higher protein and fiber in convenient boil-in-the-bag (good for camping!) or microwavable pouches and flavors like chipotle, chimichurri and coconut/lime. We’d like to see organic but are pleased to see non-GMO chickpeas that naturally fix more nitrogen into U.S. soil.
