chickpea
Falafel's main legume
A chickpea is a round, beige legume with a nutty flavor and firm texture, widely used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking.
Chickpeas are the main ingredient in hummus and falafel.
Also called garbanzo beans, particularly in American supermarkets: I need a can of chickpeas for the curry.
