Chickpeas

Chickpeas are the seeds of the annual plant Cicer arietinum from the legume family. They are widely produced due to their high nutritional value. Chickpeas can be consumed raw, roasted, fried, baked, or boiled. They are used in snacks, desserts, and seasonings. Chickpea flour, which can be mixed with wheat flour, is especially used in soups, bread, and meat dishes.
