Its origin was the Middle-East around 7500 years ago. It then went on to enjoy widespread cultivation in Greece around 3500 B.C. It was also a staple for a time in the island of Crete off Greece.

We harvest Rwanda chickpeas on the third or fourth month after planting them. We look for plants that have wilted and whose pods have turned greenish-brown and have seed bulges. We use sickles to hold the stalk of the pod and pluck it by the free hand. We immediately transfer the collected pods to the sorting shed for both hulling and sorting.

We sort the chickpeas based on the healthy appearance as well as the uniform size of the seeds. We go for only seeds that have no sign of disease or pest infestation. We also forgo any discolored seeds. The healthiest then undergo thorough cleaning before they are ready to pack.
