🌱 What Are Green Chickpeas?
Green chickpeas (also called fresh garbanzo beans) are the immature form of the common beige chickpea, harvested while still young and tender. They retain a vivid green color and have a slightly sweet, nutty taste. Used in their fresh, frozen, or lightly dried form, green chickpeas are rich in plant protein, fiber, and chlorophyll, making them a healthier, fresher-tasting alternative to conventional chickpeas.
They are ideal for roasting, sautéing, adding to salads, or blending into hummus and dips.
