Chickpeas

JUNE 16, 2017 (HTTP://IPGA.CO.IN/CHICKPEAS/#RESPOND)

The chickpeas, also known as a garbanzo bean, ceci bean, sanagalu, chana, hummus and Bengal gram has an
interesting fact behind its name. It’s called Chickpea because it looks like baby chick. This pulse is estimated to be at
least 7,500 years old and was originally cultivated at Mesopotamia and The eastern Mediterranean. Currently, it is
grown in India, Middle East and various parts of Africa. This highly nutritious pulse is ranked third in the important list
of the food legumes that are cultivated throughout the world. Chickpeas have mainly two types i.e. Desi and Kabuli.

India is the largest producer of Chickpeas and approx 80-90% supply of Chickpeas to the world is from India.
Seeding of Chickpeas can be done into standing or tilted stubble and fallow. Kabuli chickpeas are planted when soil
temperature at a depth of 2 inches to 3 inches reaches at least 10ºC while Desi types are planted in soil that is 4 ºC or
above to reduce soil-burn diseases.
Chickpea is an annual crop, cultivated in cool season. Fertile sandy & loam soil in various parts of India provide
perfect condition for Chickpea growth. Indian weather conditions of 21 ºC to 26 ºC daytime temperatures and 17 ºC
(http://ipga.co.in)
to 21 ºC night temperatures also favor this crop. Chickpeas have deep tap root system so they can endure drought
conditions by extracting water from deeper soil. Maturing time require for Chickpeas is 120 days.

Varieties of Chickpeas

There are mainly two types of Chickpeas: Desi and Kabuli. This classi cation is based on seed size, colour, thickness
and shape of the seed coat.
 
Desi Chickpeas are smaller, angular seeds with thick seed coats that range in colour from light tan and speckled to
solid black. This type of Chickpea is mainly grown in India, Bangladesh, parts of Pakistan, Ethiopia, Mexico, and Iran.
Desi Chickpeas are the most widely grown under dry land.
 
Kabuli chickpeas have larger seeds with paper thin seed coats that range in colour from white to pale cream to tan.
Kabuli Chickpeas is mainly cultivated in Southern Europe, Northern Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Chile, also
introduced during the 18th century to India.
In compare with Kabuli chickpeas, Desi chickpeas have a markedly higher ber content and hence a very low glycemic
index which may make them suitable for people with blood sugar problems.
