The best freshest green hummus made of fresh green chickpeas. Fresh green chickpeas are such a treat! Because now is the season! Green chickpeas hummus is the best springtime hummus! I’ll tell you where to find them. So, if you are checking this recipe in the spring or early summer, you might want to give it a try now. Otherwise, save this hummus recipe for later. And when the next season comes – treat yourself.

Where to get fresh green chickpeas?
You can look for green chickpeas during spring and early summer in farmers’ markets. I get a mine from the local Indian store; check your local Asian markets as well.
Fresh green chickpeas are such a treat! You can eat them raw. They make the best raw snack! For hummus and dips, though, I prefer them cooked.
Cooking Fresh Green Chickpeas for Hummus
Set 2 cups of green chickpeas to boil win 2 cups of water with 1 tbsp Universal sattvic spice mix. You can see me making it here 👇🏻 the link to the recipe 👇🏻
After chickpeas were cooking for 20 minutes, s a good time to add some Himalayan salt and cook for an additional 10 to 15 min. Then tern of the heat and after they cool a bit, strain them.
Prepping Green Bell Peppers for Hummus
While chickpeas are cooking, I’m prepping the next ingredient – green bell pepper.
If you, not a roasted pepper fan, you can skip this step. Otherwise, preheat your oven to 450F. And bake your peppers for 20 min. Then set to cool.
After your peppers are cooled down, remove the skin.
You can use either a food processor or Vitamix blender. Vitamix will make it extra fluffy and smooth.
First, blend together roasted pepper, salt, and ground peppercorns. Then add chickpeas; I’m adding a teaspoon of alfalfa juice powder for this extra healthful energy boost; you know, It’s an energy thing. And wrap it up with creamy tahini.
Look at this creamy deliciousness! Roast some pine nuts, white and black sesame seeds, and you good to go.
