The Spanish chickpea is a medium-large sized chickpea with a spherical shape, its skin has a medium roughness with marked grooves and a pronounced curved beak. It is light cream in color, a mix of light brown, yellow, and white shades. 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 acid, which are unsaturated and cholesterol-free. Likewise, it is a good source of fiber and calories. It is highly appreciated for its exceptional appearance once cooked.
