Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, are versatile, nutrient-rich legumes commonly used in Mediterranean dishes like hummus and falafel. They provide a great source of vitamins C, iron, fiber, and protein, making them invaluable for vegans and vegetarians. The two names come from different origins; 'chickpea' comes from Latin, while 'garbanzo' is derived from Spanish, reflecting the legume's widespread cultural significance. Although the terms differ regionally—more common in the Northeast versus Western U.S. for example—they refer to the same nutritious food accessible in grocery stores, particularly canned.
