In the U.S., chickpeas commonly are used fresh in salads or in soup. Chickpeas are rich in protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber, while low in fat and cholesterol. Chickpea is a potential rotational crop and fits well in wheat and barley cropping systems. It is an option for cereal farmers in eastern Oregon who are incorporating broadleaf crops into their rotations.
