Love green chickpeas raw, roster, sautéed, stir fried, curried and such. It’s delicious in every form 💚

In my Mexican family we always steam or bake them fresh. I never heard of people drying them out until I found out chickpeas and garbanzos are the same thing lol

Never stop making videos! I love them! It's such a nice blend of novelty and science and it's so much better than the mainstream content you find on the cooking internet. I love it!

I love chick pea, but I had never thought to plant it, even to eat greens. Thank you to open my mind a little bit more.

Perfect timing of this video. I was inspired to finally try growing chickpeas this year, after watching your other video, and living in the neighboring territory with same climate. My daughter and I eat sooooo many chickpeas in our vegan cooking. One thing I found- The rabbits were loving me this spring before the pods appeared for planting them such delicious new greens, as they mowed the tops. The plants recovered, and are at the stage in your video. Thank you.♡ Sending much love from Washington state. ♡♡♡

Super interesting. Thanks for doing this episode! I'm going to share this with my niece who is a gardener and a foodie as well. Next year, I'll try this plant again. I did it last year, but had no idea what I was doing. It was my first year gardening.

U can soak the dried ones in water. Fry, boil, roast. Mix them together with diced onions, ginger, salt. Put some chat masala on it. Put a drizzle of mustard oil or lemon juice. Goes well with beer and whiskey. We call it Chakna.

I’ve grown them a few times. The green ones are super yummy. Even better than fresh peas, which I love.

You convinced me. I'm growing chickpeas next spring. Thanks for the idea Nicole!

In northern part of India we make curry of its green leaves when the plant is in its early age, which is also good for its growth. and you can also find its green plants in local markets during the season to have it raw straight from the plans. Love it

Looking forward to more “How dose it grow” episodes but the gardening episodes are great too.

First season ever (70 old) I picked bush beans 3 times and almost no bug bites or poison Thank you for the teaching

You’re fillin’ and killin’ those jeans mama.

I was once in Chicago and there is a Latin supermarket that was selling fresh green chickpeas, I bought about two pounds. They are absolutely delicious 😋 . The cool thing about it is that the pods that contain the chickpeas are full of air and when you press on them they make a popping sound the kids love it 😀.

In Mexico, we can't wait for garbanzo season to have them tender and roasted or have a bunch per person to feast as an afternoon snack.

Thank you this was great, I'm growing them for the first time here in the UK x

Hey Nicole, I’ll be honest with you I never knew chic peas was grown that way . Yet I learned so much from your channel being helpful tips and information.

Love this! You give new and helpful information every few seconds. You're not one of those KZreadrs that just talk in circles. Thank you very much I will be planting some of my own Chickpeas🤗

You are so good at this information on Garbanzo/chick peas episode, I have learned a lot today🌱

Hey Nicole! Green chickpeas are the best thing ever! In India, we get it in winters and I make sure I eat it every single day till they last the season! I'm so happy that you discovered it there too. No one should miss out on the heavenly taste of fresh chickpeas! :) :D Also we sometimes roast the pods on a pan till lightly charred from the outside and with a bit of salt, they taste amazing that way too!

I did not realize that you can eat them raw. I've only eaten canned ones. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Love and God Bless 🤗🙏

I grew chick peas this year. Some are drying out on the bush, some are still green. I'm going to harvest this weekend. Oh and you're ADORABLE.

This was awesome. Thank you.❤

Soil will often have Rhizobia bacteria present already. Inoculating certainly gives a boost, making sure the plants have access to the bacteria immediately (and the right strain) but it doesn't mean that your plants won't be fixing nitrogen at all if you don't inoculate. Fixed nitrogen will not increase in the soil unless you terminate the crop prior to fruiting and incorporate into soil -- virtually all of the extra nitrogen is going into the seeds.

Very informative. I never knew a thing about chickpeas...though I've always enjoyed them in stew. Thanks. Great video!

Us kurds we eat em raw right from the bush!! It's so yum especially in spring time it's called farika nok

So beautifully done. Thank you.

Thanks for the video Nicole, will definitely be giving chickpeas a go in my garden. It looks like you've replaced all your old wooden beds with metal ones. Will you be posting a video about this? My wooden beds are rotting and seem to be harbouring lots of insects, so am considering replacing them, and I'm keen to see how that went for you.

The seeds are actually called, "Desi Chana". The "Kabuli" variant is the big off white ones. I actually have been growing chickpeas in my home garden for a while for its leaves, but still I was watching you 🙈 You are so fun to watch.

I also love the method of planting a diverse variety of food plants and then let the ecosystem do its thing. :D

Another great video. Thank you

I grow black chickpeas too! I also grow a traditional tan variety. I've found that the black ones aren't as productive as the tan but I love them both!

Wonderful Nicole! We get green chickpeas or Bengal Gram ( another variety) seasonally once or twice a year. We roast them while still on a bunch and used to sit in a circle open each pod and enjoy them. We also make a veg curry with potato 😁

I was actually interested in watching this video because I happen to be sprouting about 12 chickpeas right now. They have several layers of leaves on them and when I get a little bit more route, I will plant them into my raised garden. It’s awful hot here in Florida, so I don’t know if they will survive but we will see how they do.

Love your video

It's sweet and refreshing

I'm growing chickpeas for the first time and they are growing really good. Didn't know about eating them fresh like that. I was growing them for dry. But now I'm going to harvest for fresh eating. They are a very fluffy type plant.

now will have to try some fresh chickpeas. thx.

You can eat lots of beans at various stages. If you've accidentally let your green beans go too long, but they're not dry yet, try removing them from the pods and adding them to soups, the results are much smoother and creamier than beans that have been cooked from dry. Pea and bean shoots are great in salads and sandwiches. Just pick the fresh new growth from the top of the stem to the next leaf node down and eat stem and all. You only pick the tops because the further down you go, the tougher and more fibrous the stem gets. It's basically a more mature version of bean sprouts. If you're growing peas or beans for shoots, you can grow them much closer together too.

Loved this episode. You are very engaging and charming.

Fresh chickpeas are super delicious indeed 😋

Your story telling ability is out of this world.

In Bangladesh we generally eat the black chickpeas. These have more concentrated flavor than garbanzo kind of chickpeas. Garbanzo is larger in size, most interestingly we call them “kabli/kabuli” kind of chickpeas! Sometimes I even feel like the black ones have a little more harder texture than the lighter one, but I am not 100% sure. Thanks for the video, I have never tried (or seen) green chickpeas! And I have never imagined chickpeas will grow in my area (zone 7b).. I’ll definitely try next year! 😍

Loved this episode on growing chickpeas! This is exactly what I’d been looking for, thank you!!!

This was really interesting

In Pakistan, fresh chick peas are commonly sold in the market and making curry of fresh chick peas with lamb mince tastes so awesome. Do try! I love your way of explanation and your voice. You are really cool and gorgeous. Stay blessed!

Really do appreciate your videos, you're a great host.. Anyways, i was wondering about the lectines, is these a problem in chickpeas? some different sorts of chickpeas or is the content higher or lower in fresh chickpeas?

Every time I go to Turkey I ask fresh chickpeas 😅 they are delicious

The moment I saw you put that fresh chickpea on that farm, I knew you wouldn't be able to forget it. And here you are, raising your own chickpea. People actually sell fresh chickpeas in Central Turkey at neighbourhood bazaars and I loved them. It's been so long since I've last seen fresh chickpeas. ☹

Awesome video

We are growing these for the first time this year! We want to maximize our harvest in any way, but were looking to keep a stash of dried chickpeas on hand. Do you know if we can pick them green and then dry them inside? Or would we need to just let them dry on the plant?

You can still eat the young shoots of a mature plant that has seeds. It tastes great

Try pan roasting them to almost a semi steam where some of the outer pods blacken out a little. Pour salt on the outside and eat them like sunflowers.

Nice to see👍👍👍

Good video sister I like for show Thank you for sharing

Yeah green chickpeas are heavenly, especially if you light roast them with the pods on. That's how we eat it in India. The end result is a warm, soft, even sweeter chickpea its just heavenly! Some people use a bit of black-salt afterwards, but you can eat them anyway you want -- plain, salted, seasoned, mix-in-salads! Thanks Nicole!

Started looking for seed locally as soon as I saw this.

What do you use to inoculate the plants?

Hey Nicole!!!!! If you liked green chickpeas then you should really try out green wheat. It's far more sweeter and tastier. I'm sure you'll love that too. Even those are eaten and sold in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat in India.

@@TrueFoodTV We cut the kernel along with stem when the spikes/head of kernel start turning golden but aren't completely dry. Roast the whole kernel over fire and then separate the husk by rubbing with hands. It could be eaten as it is/ make salad / just add a little sugar and sev (snack made of gram flour) and serve. Even sorghum is consumed this way and also as fritters. Also try boiled groundnuts. When the groundnuts are harvested we just take a batch of it (straight from filed without drying it), clean the pods and boil the whole pods with a little turmeric and salt. After it has cooled down we just eat it right away.

In Mexico they're called garbanzos. Fondest memories as a kid was to run to the corner at night to get a big fresh bag of these, sauteed in lemon and salt🤤🤤
