What This Line Is
Canned chickpeas packed as kernels in water, available in tin sizes from 340G to 2840G. The pack list supports both retail and catering needs from a single production run, allowing importers to cover multiple channels without placing separate orders. Produced at our cannery in Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, under the same quality and safety controls used for our mushroom and fruit lines.
Key Benefits
- Kernels in water allow the final recipe to control salt and seasoning levels
- Retail tins at 340G and 425G fit standard shelf space without requiring custom can design
- Catering tins at 2500G and 2840G support batch cooking rather than individual portioning
- Tins can be shipped together with other canned lines in a mixed container
- Every tin undergoes double X-ray scanning before packing to detect foreign matter
- Buyer label and outer carton artwork applied on private-label runs
Problems It Solves
- Sourcing pulses from one factory and vegetables from another for a single shelf display
- Retail and catering formats arriving on different shipments from different suppliers
- Risk of foreign matter in an own-brand product that the retailer must stand behind
- Ordering too small a volume to justify a full container of a single product line
- Lack of control over seasoning when chickpeas arrive already flavored in the can
Who It Is For
- Supermarket buyers developing a private-label pulse and bean range
- Foodservice distributors serving canteens, hotels, and central kitchens
- Manufacturers of dips, salads, and ready meals purchasing pulses in bulk
- Importers and wholesalers stocking a complete canned vegetable aisle
Application Scenarios
- A supermarket chain launching a private-label pulse range with chickpeas alongside kidney beans in 425G tins

- Foodservice distributors supplying canteens and hotels with an ambient pulse line
- Importers building a full canned vegetable and bean aisle from one supplier

Compared With the Alternatives
Honest trade-offs rather than a list of reasons to buy.
| Dried chickpeas | No soaking or cooking required and consistent drained weight per tin, though freight cost per kilo of solids is higher |
|---|---|
| Canned white kidney beans | Chickpeas maintain a firmer texture and nuttier flavor, while kidney beans break down more easily in cooking |
| Frozen pulses | Ships and stores at ambient temperature without a cold chain, suitable for kitchens without freezer capacity |
| Chickpeas already seasoned in the can | Water packing keeps seasoning control with the final recipe, at the cost of an extra kitchen step |
