Quality beans, good value
It said '104 chickpeas' on the packet. Imagine my delight when I counted double that number and was still nowhere near the bottom..

stoney ground.....
Whilst the actual chickpeas are fine, and the packaging is adequate - i have now encountered small stones - the approximate colour and size of chickpeas witin the dried product on two separate ocassions. As a result I feel that this product is substandard and unfit for consumption as it presents a potential danger. Beware !

Bit old and bulletty, sadly
A long way from the best chick peas I've cooked. Very long soak and cook times still resulted in smallish semi hard chick peas, a sure sign they've been around a while. Will source instead from markets in future. It's a shame that Waitrose don't have a stronger range of pulses to provide to Ocado.
