Description
Here’s something for those of you who enjoy growing really uncommon edibles: a garbanzo bean (or chickpea) known as ‘Kabouli Black’, or ‘Black Kabouli’. The bushy, 24- to 30-inch-tall plants are very pretty, with arching leaves composed of dainty leaflets, and small, purple-pink, pea-type flowers. They turn into inflated pods, each holding one or two, dark brown to near-black seeds. This strain is what’s known as a “kabuli” or macrosperma type, which is common to Afghanistan, northern Africa, and Southern Europe in its lighter-seeded version. I grew this for the first time in 2021 and am saving most of my harvest for replanting, so I haven’t tried eating the protein-seeds myself, but apparently they can be used for fresh eating or dried for later use. Full sun. Annual.
Collected in August 2021. At least 12 seeds.
Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
