Chick Peas AKA Garbanzo beans fall into two distinct type classifications. Little Tan Sara chick peas are known as a Desi type for their thick seed coat and angular pointed hulls. Desi's are generally smaller than Kabuli (the larger thinner skin types used for making Hummus) types and are used in different cooking applications such as green roasting (a delicious snack from pan roasted green chick peas)as well and is also well adapted here. Seeds are easily parched when fresh ripe. Plants grow to 16'.
