Chick Peas (Desi & Kabuli): Chick peas are also known as Garbanzo Bean, Cecil Bean, Bengal Gram and Chana. It is the third most important food legume grown and consumed world over. It is the most nutritious pulse with high protein content. The plant grows between 20-50 cm (8"-20" inches) high and has small feathery leaves on either side of the stem. Chick peas are a type of pulse with one seedpod containing two or three peas. It has white flowers with blue, violet or pink veins. Chick peas need a subtropical or tropical climate with more than 400 millimeters (16 in) of annual rain. They can be grown in a temperate climate but yields will be much lower. Chick peas are very good source of carbohydrates and proteins, which altogether constitute about 80% of the total dry seed weight. Starch, which is the principal carbohydrate component, varies in content from 41 - 50% and is lower in Desi varieties than in Kabuli varieties. Total seed carbohydrates vary from 52 - 71%. The crude protein content of chick peas varieties ranges from 16 - 24%. Crude fiber, an important constituent of chick peas is mostly located within the seed coat.

Based on amino acid composition, the proteins of chick peas seed were found, on average, to be of higher nutritive value than those of other grain legumes. Chick peas meet adult human requirements for all essential amino acids except methionine and cysteine and have a low level of tryptophan. Chick peas have a high protein digestibility and are richer in phosphorus and calcium than other pulses.
