What are chickpeas

Chickpea also known as garbanzo bean is a plant in the legume category and are available dried or canned.

They have creamy texture with nutty buttery flavor that can enhance many recipes. It is commonly used in Vegetarian and Vegan recipes. They are used in salads, hummus, falafel,  meatless recipes and more.

Canned chickpeas retain much of its nutritional value compared to other canned vegetables and they are convenient to have in one’s pantry.

They are delicious, cheap and available in most grocery stores.

Mixed greens submerged in water in a big bowl.
These are pre-washed mixed greens but I have a habit of washing most of what I used in cooking. Drain water with a salad spinner, if you do!
