Chickpeas

Posted on by Mary Ann Lesh
The chickpea, an annual legume, is high in protein.

(Spanish: garbanzo) The different types or chickpea are known as gram or Bengal gram, garbanzo or garbanzo bean, Egyptian pea, chana, and chole. Chickpeas are tasty when cooked and seasoned simply, but they can also be used in a variety of combinations and in substitutes for meat and cheese. They are the base of hummus and felafel.
