certified organic lentils, peas, flax, hulless barley, cereal grains About Us Timeless was founded in 1987 by 4 organic farmers to provide markets for the production from our own farms--primarily rotational crops like lentils, peas, flax, and specialty cereal grains. As the business has grown we have become able to provide markets for other certified organic family farmers within about a 150 mile radius. The business started on the farm of David Oien, and eventually moved to an abandoned grain elevator in nearby Conrad, Montana. Today, the main office remains on David's farm, but the production facility is now located in the small town of Ulm, near Great Falls. Timeless incorporated in 1994, and in addition to the original founders, the owners include over a dozen farmers and friends of farmers who endorse the mission of providing market opportunities for family farmers growing certified organic legumes and grains. We have become known across the nation for our high quality and unique varieties, including our trademarked Black Beluga Lentils, Black Kabuli Chickpeas, and Purple Prairie Barley. Our offerings now include over 2 dozen types of edible legumes and grain sold in bulk, as well as in our branded Timeless Natural Food retail line that is found in over 300 natural food and specialty food stores. Thanks to a special relationship with Quality Life Concepts since 1994, the packaging of our retail line provides meaningful employment for up to 20 developmentally disabled adults.

| #2395 | Black Kabuli® Chickpea Order number of 16 oz. packas. This heirloom chickpea boasts a distinctive, charcoal black skin, which is high in anthocyanins, a powerful anitoxidant. It is a trademarked variety that, as far a we know, is truly a one-of-a-kind chickpea and is available only from Timeless. It has a fuller, earthier flavor than standard chickpeas (garbanz beans). Its skin is also thicker and tougher. It's best to soak the Black Kabuli overnight to reduce cooking time, which will be more than 1 hour if not soaked. The Black Kabuli always catches the imagination of chefs, who like its distinctive presentation in salads and soups. It will bleed a bit during cooking, so it's best to cook it alone and add it to recipes after its cooked. For an exciting "black and tan" effect in any chickpea soup or salad, substitute the Black Kabuli for 1/2 the garbanzo beans (cooking each in its own pan). | Certified Organic | $6.09/16 oz. |
