Its different types are variously known as gram or Bengal gram garbanzo or garbanzo bean, or Egyptian pea. Its seeds are high in protein. It is one of the earliest cultivated legumes: 7,500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East. India produced 64% of the worldâ??s total chickpeas.
Mature chickpeas can be cooked and eaten cold in salads, cooked in stews, ground into flour, ground and shaped in balls and fried as falafel, made into a batter and baked to make farinata or cecina, or fried to make panelle.

Thiamin, vitamin B6, magnesium, and zinc contents are moderate, providing 10-16% of the Daily Value. Chickpeas have a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score of about 0.76 which is higher than many other legumes and cereals.
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) is an edible legume that is capable of fixing atrophic nitrogen in association with Rhizobium bacteria. Pigeon pea biomass, when incoporated into the soil improves its fertility and condition. Its grain is good source of dietary protein for family and can be sold for cash while the dry stems make good fuelwood.
Pigeon pea originates from India as more than 77 % of the world pigeon pea is produced and consumed in India where it is a key crop for food and nutritional security of the people. Pigeon peas are also commonly grown in African region such as Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Mozambique, Malawi and Sudan and contributes about 21% of global production
