Jimboor Chickpeas, also known as Desi Chickpeas, are a variety of Cicer arietinum. They are smaller, darker, and have a rougher seed coat compared to the larger, lighter Kabuli chickpeas. Desi chickpeas are predominantly grown in India, Ethiopia, and other parts of the world with semi-arid climates. They are highly valued for their earthy flavor, versatility in cooking, and dense nutritional profile.
