Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a type of legume that are commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. They have a creamy texture and a mild, nutty flavor that makes them a versatile ingredient in many dishes. Chickpeas can be used to make hummus, toasted as a snack, or added to soups and stews for extra thickness and protein. They are non-GMO and gluten-free, and are a good source of fiber and iron. Many people enjoy chickpeas for their hearty texture and satisfying flavor, and they are often used as a meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan dishes.
