Garbanzo Bean (Bush)

Garbanzo bush beans, commonly known as chickpeas, are a versatile and nutritious legume grown for their edible seeds. These bushy plants reach about 18-24 inches in height and thrive in well-drained, sandy loam soil with full sun exposure. The pods, containing one or two seeds, are rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, making them a valuable addition to a healthy diet. They are used in a variety of dishes, including hummus, soups, and stews. The plants are drought-tolerant and nitrogen-fixing, enhancing soil fertility for future crops.
