Popular Chickpeas delivered to Croydon
A pot of chickpeas simmering with cumin and garlic is the base of a hundred family dinners, from a smooth hummus to a warming chickpea stew served over rice. Chickpeas are a dried legume that lives on the pantry shelf until soaked overnight and cooked slowly, softening into a base for soups, stews and cold salads dressed with olive oil and lemon.
Chickpea range and brands
Turkish Online Market stocks Duru and Bodrum ram head chickpeas in 8mm and 9mm sizes, sold in 1kg and 2kg bags. The larger 9mm ram head variety is prized for holding its shape well after long cooking, which matters for a Turkish chickpea stew or a proper batch of hummus, while smaller sizes suit soups and quicker weeknight dishes.
What is available
- Duru ram head chickpeas, 8mm and 9mm, 1kg and 2kg

Who buys chickpeas in the area
Chickpeas suit a wide range of Croydon households: families cooking a weekly Turkish or Mediterranean-style dinner, students on a budget who value a filling, protein-rich staple, and anyone drawn to home-made hummus over the shop-bought version. Local Turkish, Cypriot and Kurdish kitchens use chickpeas constantly, but they are equally at home in a British household experimenting with Mediterranean cooking for the first time. A 2kg bag suits a family that cooks chickpea dishes regularly, while a 1kg pack is a sensible way to try a brand before committing to a bulk buy.
Chickpeas in Croydon — frequently asked questions
Which chickpea products should I start with in Croydon?›
A 1kg bag of Duru or Bodrum chickpeas is a good starting point, letting you try the ram head variety before deciding whether the 8mm or 9mm size and a larger 2kg bag suits your regular cooking better.
How should I store dried chickpeas and how long do they last?›
Keep dried chickpeas in a sealed container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Stored this way they hold well for many months, though they cook best within the first year of purchase.
Are family-size packs of chickpeas available?›
Yes, chickpeas are sold in both 1kg and 2kg bags, so a Croydon household cooking chickpea dishes regularly can buy the larger size, while smaller households can start with a 1kg pack.
Are the chickpeas halal?›
Many products across the range are halal-certified, and each individual product page states its certification clearly, so check the specific listing for the chickpeas you want before ordering.
What is the difference between the chickpea sizes on offer?›
The 9mm ram head chickpea is larger and holds its shape well through long cooking, suiting stews and hummus, while the 8mm size is slightly smaller and cooks a little faster, working well in soups and quicker dishes.
Do I need to soak chickpeas before cooking them?›
Yes, dried chickpeas benefit from soaking in water overnight before cooking, which shortens the cooking time considerably and helps them soften evenly for stews, hummus or salads.
