garbanzo beans
Falafel's main ingredient
Garbanzo beans are chickpeas, the round, beige legumes used in hummus, falafel, and countless Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.
The term garbanzo comes from Spanish and is more common in American English, while chickpea predominates in British usage.
They have a nutty flavor and slightly grainy texture, and can be eaten whole, mashed, roasted for snacking, or ground into flour.
I always keep a few cans of garbanzo beans in the pantry.
