Young Garbanzo Beans

Fresh garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, will be your new favorite snack — pop them out of their green, fuzzy shell and dress simply with fresh lemon juice and sea salt. These little bundles of protein are also delicious in hummus (as a canned chickpea replacement), roasted with your favorite seasonings, or boiled and shelled to go into salads, stir-fries and mixed vegetable side dishes.
