Amazingly Rich Chickpeas by Supernova Exim: A Multifaceted Legume with a Rich Heritage
Hailing from ancient Mesopotamia and with an incredible 75,000-year history, chickpeas—also widely known as garbanzo beans—are a cornerstone of modern-day agriculture. Notably, India has been a dominant force in the global chickpea market, contributing around 70% of the worldwide production as of 2019.
Varietal Distinctions
Chickpeas come in primarily two categories: Desi and Kabuli. These types can be further categorized based on dimensions such as shape, size, and skin thickness. Their hues also differ significantly, ranging from a subtle tan to an intense black. Particularly, Kabuli chickpeas are renowned for their creamy to white coloration.
Culinary Applications
Chickpeas are the star ingredient in various culinary delights. They’re crucial in the making of hummus, a Middle Eastern classic. When soaked and ground with a mix of herbs and spices, chickpeas transform into irresistible falafel patties.
In the realm of Indian gastronomy, chickpeas are a staple, featured prominently in salads, soups, stews, and rich curries like chana masala. Beyond this, they’re also incorporated into a range of products that use Channa (chickpeas) as a foundational ingredient.
