Garbanzo is the new edamame
Garbanzo Beans or chickpeas are the most widely consumed legume in the world.
Originating in the Middle East, they have a firm texture with a flavor somewhere between chestnuts and walnuts. The “Chick pea” and “garbanzo bean” are the same thing.
Like most beans, garbanzo beans are rich in the best sort of fiber - soluble fiber - which helps to eliminate cholesterol from the body. They are a useful source of folate, vitamin E, potassium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc and calcium. As a high-potassium, low-sodium food, they help reduce blood pressure.
