"Lomentum" Chickpea Bites - 50 Pack

Soft on the inside, with a crunchy crust, these bread bites are protein-packed and delicious! Made with milled wheat and chickpeas, these bites incorporate known ancient Roman commercial bread ingredients. Roman chefs and bakers didn’t waste a thing in their kitchens and this tradition is followed at Pistrinum. These “bites” are inspired by the holes from the ring-shaped loaves, which bakers surely would have saved for future use in soups and stews. Note: due to the addition of chickpeas, these bites may be heavier and drier than modern-style breads.
