Popular Chickpeas delivered to Birmingham
Wondering where to find proper koçbaşı chickpeas in Birmingham for a slow-cooked nohut yemeği rather than the small tinned variety from a general supermarket? The larger, ram-head style chickpea used in Turkish cooking is available online from Duru and Bodrum, delivered straight to a B postcode address.
Delivery to Birmingham
Dried chickpeas are dry, ambient goods sent with DHL Express and typically arrive within one to two business days once dispatched. Orders of £60 or more qualify for free delivery, while smaller baskets carry a flat £5.99 charge, and the same service reaches Sutton Coldfield and Walsall for anyone stocking up on behalf of family nearby. Orders placed before midday on a weekday are usually dispatched that same day, with a tracking number emailed once the parcel is on its way.
Duru and Bodrum Chickpea Sizes
The Chickpeas range is small but practical, built around Duru and Bodrum. Duru offers both an 8mm and a 9mm koçbaşı variety, sold in 1000gr and 2000gr bags depending on how much a household gets through, while Bodrum 1000gr ChickPeas is a straightforward, no-frills option for everyday cooking. The larger 8mm and 9mm sizing refers to the chickpea itself, with the bigger grades generally preferred for slow-cooked stews where texture matters.
Buying and Storing Dried Chickpeas
A 2kg bag suits a household that cooks nohut yemeği or chickpea-based dishes regularly, while a 1kg bag is more practical for occasional use. Dried chickpeas keep for many months in a sealed bag in a cool, dry cupboard, and should be soaked in water overnight before cooking to soften them properly, since the larger koçbaşı variety takes longer to cook than smaller supermarket chickpeas.
Chickpeas in Birmingham — frequently asked questions
Where can I order Turkish koçbaşı chickpeas for delivery to Birmingham?›
Duru and Bodrum both offer koçbaşı chickpeas online, delivered to Birmingham addresses via DHL Express, typically arriving within one to two business days once your order is dispatched.
How is koçbaşı different from regular tinned chickpeas?›
Koçbaşı chickpeas are larger, dried whole chickpeas sold by the kilogram rather than pre-cooked and tinned, giving a firmer texture that holds up well in slow-cooked stews once soaked and cooked from dry.
Should I buy the 8mm or 9mm size?›
Both sizes refer to the diameter of the chickpea itself, with the larger 9mm grade often preferred for a heartier texture in slow-cooked dishes, though either size works well for everyday nohut yemeği.
How long should dried chickpeas be soaked before cooking?›
Dried chickpeas are typically soaked in water overnight, for around 8 to 12 hours, before being drained and cooked, which softens them and shortens the overall cooking time considerably.
