garbanzo bean
Hummus base ingredient
A garbanzo bean is a chickpea—a round, beige legume with a nutty flavor and firm texture.
The terms are interchangeable, though garbanzo (from Spanish) appears more often in American grocery stores and recipes: I added garbanzo beans to the salad.
Chickpea dominates in Middle Eastern and Indian culinary contexts.
