Chickpeas are an ancient and easy-to-grow bean that is highly nutritious and inexpensive, making them a staple in many of the world’s poorer countries. They have been popular in Mediterranean cuisine since ancient Greek times, and were exported by the Romans as “ceci”. In Spain, they were carried to Latin America where they became known as “garbanzo”. In the United States, they are commonly referred to as either chickpeas or garbanzo beans.<\/p>\n
