Short Description
The chickpea or chick pea (Cicer arietinum) is an annual legume of the family Fabaceae,
subfamily Faboideae. Its different types are variously known as gram or Bengal gram, garbanzo
or garbanzo bean, or Egyptian pea. Chickpea seeds are high in protein.

It is also used in salads, soups and stews, curry and other meal products like channa. Chickpeas
are possibly the tastiest complete protein out there, with easy growing and lots of health benefits. They
contain lots of fiber, and are known to balance appetite. They fuel the cells that line your intestinal wall.
They contain large amounts of Vitamin B3, potassium, Omega 6, and many other good things.
Reason of choosing the plant
The reason behind choosing chick peas for plantation is the plants are fairly easy to grow,
take care of. Chickpea is an edible legume, and an annual herb. That’s why it takes a very little
space to grow. It also doesn’t require much time to grow, it may take 90 to 100 days until they
are ready to harvest. The plant grows only to 20–50 cm (8–20 in) high, so it is easier to plant
indoor in pots or in garden. . The plants themselves are fairly easy to take care of, though, as
long as you protect the shallow root system and avoid over-watering them.
