These heirloom garbanzo bean seeds are organically grown. Also called chickpea, chick pea, ceci bean, Bengal gram, and gonzo bean, garbanzo is an ancient legume, dating back 10,000 years. It is a staple of Indian, Burmese, and middle eastern cuisine. Today, it is used in soups, salads, hummus, main dishes, and aquafaba for vegan merinques.

Garbanzo is a versatile crop that can be grown as a vegetable, sprout, microgreen, or nitrogen-fixing cover crop. Garbanzo prefers cooler weather and can be sown in early spring. Thin to about 6 to 12 inches apart. No staking is needed as the short, bushy plants will spread and support one another.
