About Chickpeas, (garbanzo beans, bengal gram), dry
Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), also called garbanzo beans, are round, beige legumes with a firm, slightly nutty bite, and one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. They are a powerhouse of plant-based nutrition, packed with protein and fiber along with iron, folate, manganese, and slow-digesting complex carbohydrates that help keep you full and steady. Chickpeas are the heart of hummus and falafel, a staple across Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking, and a hearty addition to curries, soups, stews, grain bowls, and salads.
Roasted until crisp and seasoned, they make an addictive crunchy snack, and ground chickpea flour, or besan, is used for flatbreads, fritters, and gluten-free baking. They are sold dried for soaking and simmering, or precooked in cans for convenience, and even the starchy canning liquid, called aquafaba, whips up as a plant-based egg substitute for meringues and baked goods. Store dried chickpeas in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry, where they keep for a year or more.
