The chickpea plays an important role in Indian and Oriental cuisine, as it absorbs spicy aromas particularly well and goes well with many ingredients. The nutty-buttery aroma gives dishes that typically exotic note. After cooking, the chickpea is wonderfully soft and fluffy. Pureed it becomes irresistibly creamy and can be processed into hummus or falafel. This versatile ingredient also impresses with its high content of fiber, protein and calcium
