Cicer arietinum (Brown Chickpeas, Desi Chana) Seeds
Cicer arietinum, commonly known as Brown Chickpeas or Desi Chana, is a hardy legume that is a staple in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. These small, brown chickpeas are packed with a nutty flavor and a firm texture, making them perfect for a variety of culinary applications, including curries, soups, salads, and snacks. Known for their high nutritional value, they are a popular choice for health-conscious diets.
Characteristics
Brown Chickpeas grow as compact, bushy plants, typically reaching a height of 30–50 cm. The plants produce delicate, fern-like leaves and small white or pale pink flowers, which develop into small, podded legumes containing one to two round, brown seeds. These seeds have a robust, earthy flavor and retain their firm texture even after cooking.
Uses and Benefits
Brown Chickpeas are widely used in dishes such as curries, stews, soups, and salads. They can be sprouted for fresh use, ground into flour for flatbreads, or roasted for a crunchy snack. Nutritionally, they are rich in protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, supporting digestion, energy levels, and heart health. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, they are an excellent addition to weight management and diabetic-friendly diets.
Cultivation
Brown Chickpeas are a cool-season crop that thrives in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soils with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Prepare the soil by incorporating organic compost or manure before planting. Sow seeds at a depth of 3–5 cm, spaced 20–25 cm apart, with rows 30–45 cm apart. Chickpeas are drought-tolerant but require consistent moisture during flowering and pod formation. Germination occurs within 7–10 days under optimal conditions. Pods can be harvested 90–100 days after planting when they are mature and dry.
Unique Features
Brown Chickpeas are known for their drought tolerance and adaptability to various climates. Their nutty flavor and firm texture make them versatile in both traditional and modern recipes. As a nitrogen-fixing legume, they also improve soil fertility, making them an eco-friendly crop.
Growing Tips
Rotate crops annually to maintain soil health and reduce pests. Avoid overwatering, as chickpeas prefer slightly dry conditions. Harvest pods when they are fully mature and dry for storage, or pick them green for fresh use.
Shipping
Available for shipping within India and worldwide. Orders are typically dispatched within 1–2 weeks.
