Garbanzo beans are also called chickpeas and they are some of the oldest grains ever grown.

Garbanzo bean plants grow best in warm, tropical climates. The bean that we eat is actually the seed of the garbanzo bean plant. Look for them in the Moroccan Bean Salad this month! Taste Test Students in all K-5 MPS schools will have the chance to taste a sample of our Moroccan Bean Salad in their cafeterias the rst week of November!
