Physiological potential of chickpea seeds [PDF]
The chickpea crop is grown predominantly in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. India is the largest producing country, in Brazil production is scarce, leading the country to import almost all of what is consumed. Grains are a good source of carbohydrates, proteins and even essential amino acids.
