Question

autobiography of a chickpea

Answer 1

Chickpeas are large roundish legumes, that look rather like a large round pea with an interesting bumpy surface. A staple of Middle Eastern, African and Indian cuisines, the chickpea is the world's second most widely grown legume after the soybean, and one of the eight founder crops of the origins of agriculture on our planet. Chickpeas store really well, and are high in nutritive value, although they are not very disease resistant, compared to other legumes.
