'''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 Bengal grams and [[Egyptian]] peas.<ref>http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=58]</ref>
