We are offering high fibre chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans, bengal grams, and egyptian peas) have a delicious nutlike taste and buttery texture. They provide a concentrated source of protein that can be enjoyed year-round and are available either dried or canned. The latin name for chickpeas, cicer arietinum, means "small ram," reflecting the unique shape of this legume that somewhat resembles a ram's head.
