Alliance Bio - French Organic Chickpeas

Alliance Bio focuses on integrating eco-friendly practices into farming, ensuring that agricultural processes not only yield high-quality produce but also maintain and enhance the health of the environment.  In the southern part of Lot-et-Garonne (France), approximately fifty farmers collaborate with the company, embracing a philosophy that honors nature and all living beings. 
Through the adoption of long crop rotations by alternating crops annually, the soil is able to regenerate, maintaining its long-term capacity to provide nourishment. With the use of green fertilizers, the soil remains free from chemical treatments. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and traditional farming wisdom, Alliance Bio is setting a new standard for agricultural excellence that prioritizes both productivity and ecological stewardship.

Chickpeas are widely recognized for their numerous health benefits.  They boast excellent nutritional quality, rich in protein and easily digestible carbohydrates.  Additionally, they are packed with unsaturated fatty acids, essential minerals, vitamins, and a generous amount of dietary fiber.

Alliance Bio’s clay-limestone soils have preserved all their trace elements, allowing the plant to thrive, resulting in chickpeas that are both flavorful and nutritionally rich. They are a must-have in your kitchen for crafting flavorful stews and preparing delightful Mediterranean dishes.
