garbanzos

Beige round legumes

Garbanzos are chickpeas—round, beige legumes used in hummus, falafel, and Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking.

The term is Spanish in origin and more common in American English than British.

I added garbanzos to the salad.

In slang, garbanzos can refer to breasts.
