Garbanzo, or chickpea, is a leguminous plant harvested for its edible seed. It is used as a high‑protein, high‑fiber food that can help stabilize blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and support digestive health. Because raw garbanzo seeds contain lectins that can be toxic, they must be cooked thoroughly, and some people may experience gas or allergic reactions.
