Chickpea is a species of crop in the legume family. The annual plant reaches heights of up to 1 meter/1.1 yd. On it grow the pods, which are about 3 cm/1.2 in in size. In them: 2 seeds, which we know as chickpeas. The chickpea is very frugal. Although it is cultivated more in subtropical areas, it is possible to grow it also in our latitudes. There are two groups of chickpeas. Kabuli are slightly larger, beige chickpeas. Desi, on the other hand, are darker, smaller and yellow inside. Here, the Kabuli type is more preferred. Like other legumes, it is a good green manure, as it accumulates nitrogen in the soil.
