Not a true “new world” bean but we love them so much and the crops we get imported tend to be so old dusty that we make this one of our California crops.

Obviously they’re classic for hummus and as a key ingredients in a green salad, but they’re great in soups, too.

For salads, try skipping the lettuce and go for the crunch. Celery, carrots, onions, garbanzos (chick peas) and your favorite dressing make for a great salad.

Suggested uses:
Hummus, soups, puree, snacks.
