Naatu Channa (Small White Chickpeas)

Small White Country Chickpeas

Same Cream Colour as Kabuli, Smaller Size For Curries, Sundal, Chaat & Everyday Meals

Key Features

• Naatu / Country Type: Smaller cream-white chickpeas — same pale colour family as Kabuli, but clearly smaller seeds with a firmer, home-style bite.
• South Indian Heritage: Called Naatu Channa or Nattu Senagalu in Telugu kitchens — the everyday country chickpea preferred for traditional recipes.
• Nutrient Powerhouse: High plant protein (~18–20 g/100g raw), fibre, and minerals including iron and calcium.
• The Smart Upgrade: Choose Naatu when you want white chickpeas with a denser, smaller grain for sundal, spicy curries, and tempering-style snacks.
• Daily Nutrition Support: A cooked serving adds protein and fibre to rice or roti meals.
