    What Are Chickpeas?

    Chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans, are part of the legume family named Fabaceae. They are small and round with colors ranging from tan to dark brown or even black.

    You can cook garbanzo beans in many different ways. It’s best to pre-soak dried garbanzo beans overnight and then boil with water on the stovetop until tender. If you’re using a slow cooker, they’ll need to simmer for at least 4 hours with an ample amount of liquid. You can also use a pressure cooker or Instant Pot to cook them in under an hour.
