Cicer arietinum
One of our favorite discoveries of the past several years, we spend an inordinate amount of time keeping these pristine and weed free (because we feel the need to not because they are innately weedy!) Everything from their desire to be Spring planted with the peas to their delicate leaf and plant structure and finely veined, bi-colored purple/pink flowers kept us riveted, enraptured...I kid you not. Yes, we are easily delighted. More reliable though less productive then our other dry beans, they are Spring planted, harvested with the dry peas and yield one but more often two beans per pod. Also a rare and tasty treat harvested and eaten fresh like English peas or steamed like Edamame.  And while Garbanzo beans can be traced back 7500 years to Afghanistan, these were most recently improved by WA State University to be tolerant of cooler soils and light frosts. So go on. Certain rapture awaits.
