    Chickpeas : Chickpeas can be eaten in salads, cooked in stews, ground into a flour called gram flour (also known as besan, and used in Indian cuisine), ground and shaped in balls and fried as falafel, cooked and ground into a paste called hummus, or roasted and spiced and eaten as a snack, and as farinata. The plant can also be used as a green vegetable. In India, where they are referred to as chana, chickpeas provide a major source of protein in a predominantly vegetarian culture. Chickpea flour is also used to make Burmese tofu, a food originating with the Shan people of Burma.
