Desi chickpeas from last summer’s garden

“There are two types of chickpeas: desi and kabuli. Desi contains smaller, darker seeds and has more of a rough coat. Kabuli is a larger, lighter colored bean with a smoother coat. Chickpeas come in a variety of colors—green, black, brown and red, though the most popular and recognized color is beige.”
We planted Desi chick peas in our garden last summer. (See extra photos for the pods on the plants, the dried chick peas and cooked.)
Although they were tedious to pick and shell, they made excellent hummus!
