'''Chickpeas''', also known as '''garbanzo beans''', are a type of starchy bean often used to make hummus. The Latin name for garbanzo beans, ''Cicer arietinum'', means "small ram," reflecting the unique shape of this legume that somewhat resembles a ram's head. Garbanzo beans are also referred to as chickpeas, Bengal grams and Egyptian peas.[http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=58]
