Chickpea

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a staple in many cuisines around the world. These versatile little legumes can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to salads and veggie burgers.

Chickpeas have been cultivated for thousands of years and their exact origins are unknown. However, they are thought to have originated in the Middle East or India. Chickpeas were widely consumed by the ancient Greeks and Romans and were even mentioned in the Bible.

During the Middle Ages, chickpeas were introduced to Spain and from there, they spread to the rest of Europe. Chickpeas became a common ingredient in many Italian and French dishes. In the 18th century, chickpeas were introduced to the Americas by African slaves.
