Chickpeas are a small, hard, knobby, beige-coloured bean with a diameter of less a centimeter. These pulses tend to look like wrinkled hazelnuts. Many people consume chickpeas in the form of hummus, a type of dip made from mashed chickpeas and tahini. More expensive than Desi Chickpeas. More diameter means higher quality.
