For the past 50 years, we've been largely eating one species of chickpea - which was bred for mass production 🌱 But wild chickpeas are an incredibly diverse group of legumes, all with different genetic traits. Many of these lost traits could have a massive impact on today's food system Our portfolio company NuCicer has been breeding chickpeas that are WAY BETTER for farmers, food producers and (most importantly) eaters - offering 75% more protein, improved nutrition, and functionality over conventional chickpeas. Not forgetting improved soil regeneration, climate resistance and less water for farmers And now, the revolutionary high-protein chickpeas have begun being planted across North America and will be cultivated on more acres than ever before - marking a monumental 10x expansion of NuCicer’s supply chain It's exciting times for chickpea production!
