Chickpeas

Chickpeas are the seeds obtained from the Cicer Arietinum plant, which belongs to the Papilionaceae family. This plant produces a crop which contains one or two seeds inside, the chickpeas. These seeds are small, round, and whitish, although they vary depending on the geographical area of cultivation.

Among the chickpea varieties cultivated in Spain, we can find the Castilian chickpea, the milky white chickpea, the Andalusian venous chickpea, the Chamad chickpea and the Pedrosillano chickpea.
