Did you know?
Chickpeas, also called garbanzos, are a traditional food staple of Africa; the chickpea is the world's second most widely grown legume after the soybean. Chickpeas are a rich and cheap source of protein for billions of people worldwide. Chickpeas are classified into desi chickpeas and kabuli chickpeas. Grains of desi chickpeas are small in size, light to dark brown in color, and have a thick seed coat. Grains of kabuli chickpeas are bigger and have a whitish-cream color and thin seed coat. The desi type, however, is more widely used as it accounts for nearly 80 percent of global chickpea production.
