Quick facts

Sicilian heirloom
Large beans
Variety holds its firmness well even after cooking

Cicer arientinum

90-100 days. We love that ‘Pascia’ produces large tan beans that stay slightly al dente even after cooking. Plants grow upright so you don’t have to worry about dirt in your harvest or mold from the moist soil. This variety is as Sicilian heirloom that is rare in the United States.

Grow chickpeas! It’s much easier than you might think to grow a decent amount of chickpeas in your home garden. Frost tolerant, get these started in early spring- a great choice for short season climates! Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are high in protein, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, and vitamins ABC.

How to grow it:

Germ Temp	Indoor Start	Germ Days	Frost Tolerant	Sun	Seed Depth	Plant/Row Spacing
70	2 weeks	6-17 d.	Light frost	Full	Surface	12/18

Plant shortly after the ground can be worked in spring, right around when you might plant peas. Plant on the surface as light aids germination. Alternatively, plant indoors on the surface of the soil 2 weeks prior to transplanting. Transplants quite well. Thin to 1′ apart, with rows 18″ apart. Allow plants to dry down in late summer. Harvest by cutting down the whole dry plant into a bag. Free seeds from pods by beating the bag, or driving over it, and use a fan to separate chaff from beans.

Seed specs: 10 min.
