These Black Garbanzo Beans are a rare heirloom variety of the classic chickpea. A smaller bean (size of a large pea) with a firm texture and a full, smoky flavor with a slightly sweet taste. This black variety can be either dark brown, or black. The nutty flavor and firm texture of the Garbanzo Bean makes it very versatile.
