About Chickpeas
India is a leading producer of chickpeas (also known as chana or Bengal gram), accounting for a significant portion of global production, and the crop is a staple in Indian cuisine, used in various dishes like chana masala and as flour (besan).
India is the world's largest producer of chickpeas, accounting for approximately 70% of global production. Chickpeas are a major pulse crop in India, contributing significantly to the country's overall pulse production.
Chickpeas are primarily grown during the Rabi season (winter season) in India, with sowing typically taking place between October and December. India primarily produces the Desi type of chickpea, which is smaller, brown, and has a thicker seed coat, while Kabuli chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) are larger, creamy white, and have a thinner seed coat.
Chickpeas are a good source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients, making them a valuable food source.
