A very receptive and responsive
"A very receptive and responsive team at this company has resulted in a number of reorders. More importantly, is the product itself which is Worthy of a five-star rating due to its simplicity of healthy ingredients"
The small but mighty chickpea is packed full of protein, carbs, fibre, antioxidants, and numerous vitamins and minerals. Plus they taste great.
This powerhouse pea is not only super nutritious and packed with protein, but it releases little starch, which makes our pasta even easier to cook and taste more like traditional pasta.

Reviews
Best pasta ever
"We all love it! Easy way to add protein to our veg diet."
I feel it’s way more
"I feel it’s way more expensive than it was at Costco"
Ok.
"It's healthy and tastes fine. The rest of the pasta shapes are much better. I suspect that there had been a recent change to the recipe for the Spaghetti specifically and also the penne. I had been purchasing it for a few years. Now while boiling, it releases an insane amount of what I believe to be starch and the pasta water is rendered unusable. The Spaghetti then breaks very easily when cooked. I am guessing that they use less chickpea and more yellow peas now to be more cost effective but regardless of what it is, something is different and it's not good. The noodles also seem thinner. Overall, it's healthy, and gluten-free and corn free and etc. . . I will likely continue to buy but less frequently because this change is disappointing. I would highly recommend the other pasta shapes although something is also different about the Penne. . most annoying is that it breaks easily whether it's cooked al dente or not same story as of late."
loved it!
"very happy with this product,"
Healthy Pasta Never Tasted This Good
"What a wonderful surprise. I’ve tried chickpea pasta brands and they are gritty. Blind taste test and you’d think you are eating regular pasta."
Great product - high in fiber and fast shipping
"Great product and fast delivery. I am a clinical nutritionist so when I looked at the nutrition profile of this product, I was very impressed. Most pasta, while it tastes good, is made from refined wheat. I am not anti-wheat, but if you eat a lot of pasta, you do not get as much nutrition as you will with Chickapea products. The fiber in standard pasta is usually around 2 g, whereas Chickapea is 5 g. Most people do not get enough fiber. The protein is 20 g which is great. Most people in North America do not suffer from low protein, actually the opposite."
Great Product
"Since I have to eat a Gluten Free diet I was thrilled to find Chickapea Products. The website was very easy to navigate and making a purchase were very simple. Being a pasta lover at heart I was very pleased to find their products. They are my go to company when it comes to purchasing Gluten Free pasta Products. Definitely recommend them."
Excellent chew when Al dente
"I love my pasta. This chick pea pasta is excellent when al dente. Highly recommend"
New formula is disappointing
"We used to eat this twice a week but have not repurchased since they changed the recipe. The noodles are thin and flimsy and break apart. Been on the hunt for a different brand!"
Q&A
- I'm confused how the nutritional info is calculated. How many servings per package? What is the total nutritional info (calories, fat, protein, carbs) for the whole package? (Prepared or unprepared). Thanks!
- Hi Sarah, thanks for your question! The nutrition facts table on the the back of a Chickapea box is based on an 85 g serving size of dry uncooked pasta, which is about 1/3 of the box. I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, you can reach out to us at hello@chickapea.com.
- Are the nutritional facts with 100g of cooked or uncooked pasta?
- Hi Bailee, the nutrition facts are based on dry uncooked pasta.
