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 Castilian Chickpea is rich in proteins, starch, and lipids, especially in oleic and linoleic acid, which are unsaturated and cholesterol-free. Similarly, it is a good source of fiber and calories. It is highly appreciated for its exceptional appearance once cooked.
