Wholesale Chickpeas Supplier in Mersin, Turkey

Chickpeas are a staple pulse of Turkish cuisine, valued for their high plant protein. They are the raw material for everything from stews and hummus to canned goods and roasted chickpeas.

After harvest, chickpeas are cleaned of stones, soil and foreign matter, broken and defective kernels are removed, and the lot is graded by kernel size.

Processed and packed by MMS Agro, our chickpeas are shipped from Mersin to wholesalers, food manufacturers and export buyers.

Calibres

Chickpeas are graded by kernel size. Larger calibres usually go to the table and canning, smaller ones to roasting and flour milling. We agree the right calibre with you when we quote.
