hickpeas: they're not just for hummus anymore. As such, many of the
chickpea products available today go above and beyond the typical
creamy spread; although, dessert hummus has certainly made an impression
on those with a sweeter tooth. From pastas and fries to snacks, chips, and
even a mayonnaise spread made from the legume's cooking liquid, chickpeas
are breaking out of the can and into some of the most delicious items on the
market. Recipes using chickpea products abound; not only promoting a new
flavor experience, but a more nutritious profile as well. Here are some of the
most exciting chickpea products recently introduced.
