Fresh chickpeas are a great source of protein, calcium, zinc, and folate. They possess high levels of dietary fiber and they taste great! Fresh chickpeas have a taste similar to the bean in a fresh green bean with an extra little nutty kick.
What do you do with them? Toss a couple handfuls in a salad to make it a meal. Or, saute them gently in butter for a lovely side dish. Tossed with brown butter and pasta, they make a wonderfully hearty meal. Or, roast them like chestnuts in the oven. I’ll be trying this tonight.
