Fresh Nature Foods

Happy Labor Day, everyone!

Today, we celebrate all workers' hard work, dedication, and resilience! Let’s take a moment to honor the sweat and effort that fuels our dreams. Enjoy this well-deserved break; remember, your efforts make the world go round!

Freshly picked and bursting with natural moisture, green chickpeas don't require rehydrating with water and sodium. Instead, they are quickly shelled in the field, swiftly washed, blanched, and immediately flash-frozen using IQF (individually quick frozen) technology.

This process preserves their natural moisture, vibrant color, essential nutrients, and delicious farm-fresh taste!

Fresh Nature Foods' green chickpeas are GMO-free, gluten-free, allergen-free, sodium-free, and vegan! These qualities ensure a nutritious and versatile ingredient that caters to a wide range of dietary needs, making them a perfect addition to any menu.

Serve your customers the best in health and taste!

With year-round availability, green chickpeas are an exciting and healthy choice for plant-forward thinkers!

Sustainable farming protects the future. By ensuring healthy farmland and choosing crops that use fewer resources to grow, we can ensure we continue to produce those crops for future generations.

Green chickpeas are the perfect choice because they take less water to grow and return nutrients to the land, which helps support it for years. That’s one of many reasons they’re essential to our local farming and agricultural community in the Pacific Northwest!

At Fresh Nature, we live at the crossroads where tradition and innovation intersect. Fresh green chickpeas have long been known as a seasonal delicacy worldwide. Fresh Nature has emerged as the first company in North America to bring these freshly picked, young green chickpeas to market in a frozen format.

We are thrilled to announce that our company has been chosen as one of a select few vendors featured in this year's Corporate Sustainability Report. Our products are featured on page 26 and our companies commitment to sustainable farming is highlighted on page 30 of the report. What an honor to partner with US Foods and share a common dedication to collaboration and building a more sustainable food supply. Grateful for this partnership!
