Roasted Chickpeas & Raisins

Roasted Chickpeas and Raisins

Nokhod kishmish, roasted chickpeas with raisins, is one of Iran's oldest and most loved snacks. Crunchy, nutty nokhodchi chickpeas are paired with sweet green raisins for a balance of protein, fibre and natural sugar that keeps you full for hours. In Persian traditional medicine the mix is considered strengthening and good for the stomach.

Mojtahedi offers freshly roasted, salt-free chickpeas with plump Khorasan raisins in sealed packs of various sizes, and includes the mix in several of its gift boxes.

Serve it in a bowl with tea, pack it as a lunchbox snack, or combine it with almonds and dried mulberries for a fuller ajil. It is also a traditional treat at Nowruz.
