About Garbanzo bean
A garbanzo bean, also called a chickpea, is a round, beige legume with a firm skin and a starchy, somewhat creamy interior when cooked. Dried beans are hard and require soaking and cooking; canned or otherwise cooked beans are soft and ready for use. Other varieties can be smaller, darker, or differently shaped.
Garbanzo beans are used whole in soups, salads, stews, and spreads, and can also be roasted or ground. Their cooked flavour is mild and nutty. The dry, cooked, canned, and roasted forms differ substantially in moisture, texture, and preparation.
