Chickpeas bring flavor, texture, and color to every meal they touch--and they\u2019re full of protein and fiber. They fit easily into plant-based meals and help balance blood sugar, too. Archaeological finds in 8,500 bc...at sites like Tell el-Kerkh in modern Syria show some of the earliest evidence of chickpea cultivation. By the 13th century Medieval Arabic cookbooks in Egypt record recipes using chickpeas and by the 18th and 19th centuries European colonial expansion and global trade routes carry chickpeas to the Americas and parts of Africa and East Asia. In the mid-2010s, home cooks and food scientists discovered that the viscous liquid drained from canned or cooked chickpeas, now widely known as aquafaba, behaves much like egg whites when whipped--they trap air and form stable foams, and are a popular vegan substitute in recipes for meringues, mousses, and baked goods.
