The Best Canned Chickpeas at the Supermarket 

Wow! Didn't know chickpeas were so complex! Lol. Love that the picked brand is one that I am familiar with!😋😋

What a great cocktail party, Jack 😂.

Goya is our brand at home. Beans and Grains Cans are always FULL of product not water. Everything Goya is great.

Love the Goya garbanzos, and their black beans are not far behind. I like to season the beans my way and Goya gives you this. Hope they don't decide to upgrade or change whatever good thing they're doing cause they're perfect as they are. My grandson loves to eat the garbanzos right out of the can as a snack and us too.

Due to a recent food allergy not everyone in my house can eat eggs. So the liquid from chickpeas has been very beneficial in replacement of eggs. The one thing I haven’t tried is chickpea liquid in place of eggs for coating food to be fried.

I love Chick Pea Fritters but, personally I prefer calling them “Garbanzo Beans”. Just because whenever I say the word Garbanzo (or Pepperoni) my four-year-old grandson cracks up and falls on the floor laughing! I use fresh squeezed lemon or Tahini Sauce on my Chick Pea Fritters. I make them with lots of fresh cilantro and scallions. Goya also offers canned Organic, Low Sodium Chick Peas, at about 30% increase in price. Goya’s Organic Chick Peas seems much firmer to me, probably because they’re lower in sodium. (They’re NOT Sodium - Free.) I like to use a mixture of the original and organic low sodium when I make my hummus, for the perfect texture.

Chickpeas are so good sautéed with some olive oil, fresh garlic, turmeric, nutritional yeast, and cayenne pepper 😋

Love these taste test. Thanks

"Si es Goya, tiene que ser Bueno!"

I’ve been using Goya from the ethnic aisle at my local grocery store. For some reason if the label is in Spanish, the product is usually cheaper. The English packaging bouillon is $1 more than the exact same product in Spanish packaging.

Thanks for sharing, ATK.

Thank you

Going with Pastene!

Goya is also our favorite. Glad you liked it.

Tried a different brand of organic chick pea recently. It did have some salt but not enough. Had the same problem with taste as a result.

Always purchased Goya. Simply the best!

Aquafaba sounds like a Disney villain😂😂😂!

I knew there was NO chance that Goya would not come out on top. I've been a Goya man for as long as I can remember. Goya...oh' boy-a!

In the middle east, we eat chick peas in many dishes other than the world famous Hummous we eat! I love them. Any feedback on Cortas?

I’ve sprouted them, great. I took them with other sprouts put them in a peta with Monterey Jack topped with Italian dressing.

Thank you.

Love chickpeas! One of my favorite brands. Been eating them for years! I’m the one who takes them all at your salad bar! 😋 Chickpeas and salad dressing!

Bridget !!❤️

In my country, Chickpea, as the Americans call it, has been a staple food for all my life - and I am sixty plus years old. and it was a staple in my mothers life. We call it channa and its used in festivals and ceremonies, its used as a filing in our popular street foods, it's used in curries with aloo (potatoes) plus so much more . Glad to see Americans are NOW learning about its nutritional value where in the Caribbean region it's a regular part of the East Indian meal..

Agree with the results. Been using the Goya brand for years. They're the best!

🥫🥙{ America's Test Kitchen }🥙🥫 " Thanks, Jack and Bridget, for sharing this video on chickpeas with your viewers ! " 🍃👍👍🍃

Hi Jack..most canned food ( Vegetables ) are canned in a brine and many cooks usually toss out this liquid but which is correct to use the liquid or not when we cook?? Thank

I would go with the Eden Organic or preferably organic, not in a can, but prepared for easy use

I love Eden products!

You can never go wrong with Goya. They consistently make good products.

Yeah, love Goya chickpeas. I make a "cheater's hummus" by just taking the main hummus ingredients (chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt), microwaving, and mashing with a fork. It's super chunky, but the chunkiness actually makes it easier to eat right out of the bowl!

Si es Goya tiene que ser bueno!

Our favorite chickpeas are La Preferida! I've never tried Goya. Will put it on the list.

You can thank our Hispanic neighbors from the Caribbean and our friends from the Middle East for waking Americans up to the taste of the chick pea or gorbanza bean.

I usually buy Goya because that's what I see around here, but I'm not sure I'd even notice the difference if I was served a different brand. Chickpeas aren't particularly flavorful to me. They all seem very similar.

2:39 - I have to wonder if part of the "firm chickpea, gritty hummus" thing might have something to do with firming agents. In particular, calcium chloride. It's not included in the one brand they're talking about here (it has konbu seaweed essence, but that seems to be for flavor), but the BTS tasters went through a lot more brands, and some brands actually do use calcium chloride. Canned foods are cooked. It's part of the canning process. But what if you want to make a pico de gallo salsa with canned tomatoes? It would be all wrong because the tomatoes in the can are cooked and soft. Enter calcium chloride. Tomatoes treated with calcium chloride retain some of their firmness despite the intense heat of the canning process. So your tomatoes are more fresh-adjacent than if you were to use tomatoes not treated with calcium chloride before canning. It's a very common additive specifically in canned diced tomatoes. So if you take a can of diced tomatoes, and a can of pureed, whole, or crushed tomatoes, all from the same brand, you might find calcium chloride on the ingredient list for the diced but not the others. Nutritionally, I have no problem with calcium chloride. Not my wheelhouse. The rub is, calcium chloride is *really* good at its job, and it doesn't have an off switch. If you bring home a can of diced tomatoes with calcium chloride, and you boil those tomatoes in soup for an hour, they're still going to have some of that firmness. And even if you toss them in a blender, they're likely to be a bit mealy, in the same way that you can never quite fully blend a pear. Calcium chloride is for firmness, and it doesn't skip leg day. I don't know why the heck they would put calcium chloride in some chickpea brands. They're SUPPOSED to be cooked! Cooking softens things! There's no such thing as biting into a raw chickpea, while biting into a raw tomato is totally a thing. What are these canners trying to emulate in adding a firming agent to chickpeas? It's not going to cook out, and it's not going to food-processor out. Just cook the chickpeas in the can and go home! I don't get it. Less really is more with chickpeas.

I just want to know if I only used 1/2 a can how can I save the rest. They seem to turn after just few days. Will be looking for your tips on this issue. Thanks GVC

I use Goya garbanzo beans out of the can with olive oil and feta crumbles. Yum

What's the difference between a chick pea and a garbanzo bean? -I can't get a garbanzo to bean on me.

My favorite is EDEN because it has less salt and it's El dente

Last time I was this early, my chickpeas we’re still dry.

Still not sure if this is just a commercial channel.

Perhaps because I live in Canada, the product reviews are rarely helpful to me. But they’re still interesting!

Hello!

The last time I made a *chickpea* joke, I got *canned!*

I’ll tell you what chickpeas can’t do. Stop causing me to fart so bad that it keeps me awake and has my bed linen levitating the whole damn night

Not a fan of chickpeas (they seem so dry to me). I prefer to use canned Great Northern beans when I make hummus--turns out super smooth and creamy.

I love garbanzos right out of the can. That's how I eat them!

Yay! My chickpea won!

Hummus, yum!

I love ATK!

Wish they would have included Bush's in this group.

Goya is my brand!

Interesting. I've only used, or, eaten chickpeas in salads.

Don't think I've had a chick pea before, besides hummus.

Love my hummus, but gout sufferers beware. Chickpeas have a moderate amount of purines and can cause flare-ups. Sadly, I've had to give them up.

When making hummus do you peel the chickpeas after you rinse them? I've had some recipes tell me to take the skin off and some that don't. Which is better ?

Any other Canadians watch this? Goya is the only brand out of these six that I've ever seen before

Best brand is " Goya" period

Goya puts out great foods.

My local bar uses aqua faba to make my key lime martini.

Yea...Goya is the best

Go Goya

👍❤️

I love this channel but unfortunately I live in the U.K. so much of the reviews don’t really apply.

GOYA is hands down Supperior .

Lots of brands you left out

Westbrae Natural beats them all. Not even close.

What's the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean? I've never had a garbanzo bean on my face.

Goya is the best hands down

Keep this video alive, inflation tracker. 2024 the same can sells for $1.50 in target :(

89 cents a can. Not my area. Try $1.25.

Missing the most important brand: ZIYAD.

Trader Joe's chickpeas are excellent. Goya has chemicals in it

There also used in dog food. My dog Does not like em.

89 cents? Amazon = 2 bucks per can.

What's the difference between a chick pea and a garbanzo bean? Trump didn't pay for a garbanzo to bean on him.

Compared to freshly made dried chickpeas, even the Goya canned ones are nasty.

i like no salt, should have included comparison to dried chickpeas prepared with a pressure cooker/instant pot.

You should avoid eating peas or beans out of a can. Pressures cook dried beans or soak them in water over night. It's 100% healthier.

these are garbeanzo bons bye

Boycott goya

Never tried them.

Goya = Trump. Couldn't force me to buy them with a gun.

This didn't age well.

Why they are not wearing masks 🥺

I like it but this videos look like a big AD.

At the end, it all looks like a long infomercial. It would be nice of you to say that you dont recieve money or anything from the brands you promote. Say it like. at the start of the video, very clearly... if not, you lose credibility... more so if you delete comments like this systematicly. And can be systematicly proven that you are... unindependent.

What's the difference between a garbanzo and a chickpea? I wouldn't pay to have a garbanzo on me.

Wow, talk about running out of ideas.

How many black chefs do you guys have on staff
