They pretty much taste like what you season them with!

Meggie!

Thanks!! I have seen a few of my classmates eat them and they have fixed them different ways, so I thought I would get the scoop on it! 

Chick peas are kinda grainy and have a weird texture - and as odd as that sounds - that's how they taste IMO. Add that to the fact they're shaped like they just came off an alien harvesting vessel so three strikes, I'm done. Certainly not my favorite bean in the world - can you tell? 

Chick peas are also known as garbanzo beans.  They're what hummus is made of and are a great source of protein.

I've only had them on a salad or as hummus, but I love them both ways.

I wonder if you could make blackeyed pea salad with them instead?

They don't have a great deal of taste. I've eaten them toasted and they taste kind of nutty. My favorite way is in hummus mmmmmm. They take on the taste of whatever spices are used with them, kind of like tofu does.

Hummus yummo!! Hummus on grilled vegetables!!

Can of Chick Peas
2 tbs Tahini (or sesame seeds crushed)
1/2 to 1 cup Greek Yogurt or reg. yogurt (depends on how wet you want it)
lemon juice to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
cumin to taste
any other spice you like to taste

Put everything together in a food processor and blend until desired consistency.

High protein from Chick peas and Yogurt

Have a great day!!
