Chickpeas are a huge protein source and one of the cheapest foods available. They already have a texture different from most beans/pulses.

  • Roast or fry them if you prefer them to be dry and crispy. (Add like 0.5 grams of salt to a bowl of these bad boys and I could eat them for all meals every meal)
  • Mix 'em into hamas (hummus) if you want a tasty paste.
  • Boil 'em in a curry if you want firm little 'uns.
  • Mash 'em, mix 'em and fry them for delicious falafel (though this requires the dry chickpeas, not tinned).
  • Get chickpea flour and use it to make lil' protein-filled flatbreads.

There's really no losing. Chickpeas are the ultimate bean (though technically a pulse).

Tinned chickpeas are very easy to throw into any dinner. Dried chickpeas are even cheaper at the shelf (and some say tastier), but require soaking/cooking first.

You can even grow them yourself and eat the leaves for bonus vitamins (but like wheat, you won't get more than a handful without some acreage)

I'll have to give them a shot. I used to hate hummus until I had some at a Greek place that made their own and discovered that it could be good. I'll have to try roasting because I do like crunchy snacks.
