Lidl Kikkererwten

Lidl chickpeas (kikkererwten) are a private-label product distributed by the German retail giant Lidl. As a store-brand product, the origin of the brand is rooted in Germany, where Lidl was founded and developed its various food lines. These canned or dried legumes are part of Lidl's strategy to provide high-quality pantry staples under their own name or secondary private labels like 'Freshona' or 'Campo Largo'.

The chickpeas are typically sourced and manufactured in multiple countries depending on the regional Lidl subsidiary and seasonal availability. Common manufacturing and canning locations include Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. The ultimate ownership of the brand lies with the Schwarz Gruppe, one of the world's largest retail groups, which manages the global operations and supply chains for all Lidl stores from its headquarters in Neckarsulm, Germany.
