It's not just our opinion, A number of top brands were examined in a "Tasting Lab" and Pastene's Chickpeas were rated 'Highly Reccomended".
Here's in brief is what the folks at "Cooks Illustrated (.com)" had to say about our product:
ONE COOL CHICK(PEA)
Pastene Chick Peas won raves from tasters for their “clean,” “salty—but not too salty” flavor and their “firm” yet “tender” texture.

Kitchen Ready Tomatoes, Fresh Packed Never From Concentrate!
Many canned tomatoes are packed in a process where water is added to bulk tomato concentrate (a.k.a. remanufactured tomatoes). On their ingredient labels you will see “water” and “concentrate" listed. Our “Kitchen Ready®” tomatoes are always fresh packed from vine-ripened tomatoes, canned as soon as the ripe tomatoes come in from the field. This fresh-pack method results in the best, most flavorful canned tomatoes available. For over 50 years, Pastene “Kitchen Ready®” tomatoes represent the highest quality in canned tomatoes.
We are committed to keeping Pastene “Kitchen Ready” tomatoes the quality leader. Thank you for using our product!
