Chickpea / garbanzo
The chickpea, also called the garbanzo, is undoubtedly the oldest
of all foods. Over 7,000 years old, it has been cultivated in India
and along the Mediterranean basin since Antiquity.
Depending on the variety, the chickpea can be more or less round, slightly dented and can vary in colour from cream to brown. The chick pea has a very creamy texture that makes it very versatile. It is used in a multitude of recipes.
The chickpea is the basic ingredient in hummus, falafels, and many other Middle Eastern dishes including the traditional couscous.
