Cicer arietinum
Rare dark chickpea variety with an intense nutty flavor
The black chickpea is a rather rare form of chickpea. The legume grows on herbaceous bushes that can grow up to 60 cm high. After flowering, it forms relatively short, inflated pods, which may contain one to three seeds when ripe. With its unusual black color and rich, nutty taste, the black chickpea is a very special addition to the kitchen.
