Yellow qudameh
Also called قضامة صفرا
Dry-roasted chickpeas that crumble as you bite
About this product
Yellow qudameh is chickpea dry-roasted until it turns light and brittle. The pieces are round and whole, each with the little beak that marks a chickpea, beige leaning yellow, with a faint white dust on the surface. Qudameh at its simplest, no sugar shell; for a sweet version, see the sugar-coated qudameh.
Taste
The crunch is dry: each piece breaks down to a fine meal in your mouth, with a plain, gentle roasted-chickpea taste. Being so plain, it sits happily beside anything sweet or salty in the same bowl.
How to enjoy it
A pocket snack for walks and drives, sometimes mixed with raisins in one bowl, and a light partner for a glass of tea. In winter it joins walnuts and raisins in the evening dish.
How to store it
Damp softens qudameh quickly, so keep it in a sealed jar away from kitchen steam; if it softens, a few minutes in a gentle oven restores it.
