Chick Peas

Cicer arietinum — white chickpea, counted grades

Chickpeas are priced on calibre, not weight, and the unit is count per ounce: 42/44 is a large bold seed commanding a premium, 58/60 is a smaller commodity grade. Fewer seeds per ounce means a bigger seed and a higher price, which is the single most common misunderstanding when comparing offers — always confirm the count before the price. Size runs 8–12 mm depending on grade, purity 99% minimum, damaged and weevilled seed capped at 1%, moisture 12% maximum, all colour sorted. Steady repeat demand across UK and EU South-Asian wholesale, the Gulf and North American distribution makes this a good account-opening line even though merchant margins on it are modest.
