Description

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an annual legume in the Fabaceae family, subfamily Faboideae. It is one of the oldest cultivated vegetables, and 9500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East. Chickpea has great potential for increased cultivation in Brazil. Studies on chickpeas in Brazil have demonstrated the crop's high productive potential, particularly in the Cerrado de Cristalina, GO and Brasília, DF areas. Due to dry climatic conditions in winter, northern Minas Gerais may be very suitable for production of this crop. Chickpea is an important source of protein and dietary fiber. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Chickpeas are often used in Brazilian cuisine, particularly in vegetarian and vegan dishes. They can be eaten whole, chopped or pureed to make soups, stews, salads and side dishes. In summary, chickpea has great potential for increased cultivation in Brazil, particularly in the Cerrado areas of Cristalina, GO and Brasília, DF. It is also an important source of nutrients and is widely used in Brazilian cuisine.
