Bob's Red Mill High Fiber Chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans, are creamy legumes that keep their shape after cooking. They have a mild, nutty flavor and are an excellent source of dietary fiber and a good source of protein and iron.
To cook them from dried, cover with cold water and soak overnight. The next day pour off the soaking water, cover with fresh water, bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 2 hours. Toss the soft beans with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper for an easy add-in.
Chickpeas are the base of hummus and falafel, and they work in bean curries, dals and chili. Processed in a food processor, they can stand in for ground beef in tacos, pasta sauce, meatballs or meatloaf.
