The Spanish Chickpea is a medium-large sized, spherical chickpea with a medium rough skin with pronounced grooves and a curved beak. It is light cream in color, a mix of light brown, yellow, and white tones. Once cooked, it absorbs more than its weight in water, and maintains its shape and skin perfectly. Its skin is thin and practically imperceptible. The Spanish Chickpea is rich in proteins, starch, and lipids, especially in oleic and linoleic acids, which are unsaturated and cholesterol-free. Likewise, it is a good source of fiber and calories. It is highly valued for its exceptional appearance once cooked.
