Of all legumes, I have to say that chickpeas are my favorite. More commonly known as the garbanzo or ceci bean, chickpeas are a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine!

There are many uses for chickpeas! Throw them in a salad, eat them as a snack, or make quick and easy foods like falafel or hummus! See more in Cooking with Chickpeas...
