Red Lentil Nofu
Meet Chickpea Nofu
It’s like tofu, but not really.
Chickpeas are an everyday staple, but they don't have to stay stuck in a tin or blended into hummus. Chickpea Nofu turns your favorite legume into a firm, golden cooking block that completely changes how you prepare beans. It gives you the culinary freedom to slice, sear, and crisp chickpeas in ways a regular bean simply can't do.

Storage Tips
Unopened the block will stay perfectly fresh in its vacuum-sealed pack for up to 28 days (just check the "Best Before" date on your label).
Once opened treat it like any fresh food — keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy it within 2 to 3 days.
Why You'll Love It
Nofu brings effortless versatility and real texture back to bean cooking.
Crumble it straight into a hot skillet with some greens for a savory morning scramble that keeps its hearty bite without turning to mush. Pan-sear thick slabs in olive oil until blistered and golden, layering them over avocado sourdough or toast for a quick lunch. Or toss seasoned, air-fried cubes into weeknight bowls, crisp salads, and curries whenever you crave a satisfying crunch.
No pressing, no draining, and no chasing loose beans around the pan—just an easy, delicious way to elevate your everyday meals.
Culinary Tips
Chickpea Nofu has a naturally rich, nutty flavor that tastes delicious entirely on its own. For everyday cooking, a simple pinch of flaky salt and cracked black pepper in a hot, oiled skillet is all it takes to bring out its best.
Because it doesn't absorb liquids like a sponge, it thrives when seasoned on the surface. Coat your cubes or slabs in your favorite spices, a dry rub, or a thick paste just before searing or air-frying. This builds a bold, golden crust that pairs seamlessly with its firm, creamy center.
