College pals' cereal hits Raley's Pair score a 8-week trial on retailer's shelves with chickpea-based creation By: Peazy Pea || Correspondent A pair of college classmates are bringing an unexpected breakfast to Raley's this month as their chickpea-based hot cereal, ChiChi, appears in the "Get Curious" section at the front of select stores. Chiara and Izzy started experimenting with chickpeas in their dorm kitchen after realizing traditional oats left them hungry and caused a carb crash before lunch. Their early batches - - hand-mixed, hand- packed, tested on classmates - eventually evolved into a creamy, subtly nutty cereal that customers say keeps them full without the mid-morning crash. Now, Raley's shoppers get eight weeks to decide whether this offbeat, protein-rich take on breakfast deserves a long-term spot on the shelf- - a big milestone for a brand that began with a $40 instant pot and a belief that breakfast could feel better. ChiChi's flavors Maple Brown Sugar, Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate & Plain are now on in store for a limited time. Find a store or shop online at chichifoods.com.
