Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)
Canada grows two types of chickpea: the larger kabuli-type (garbanzo) and smaller desi-type. Chickpeas are grown in the southern portions of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Canada is a competitive producer, processor and exporter of desi and kabuli-type chickpeas. Split desi chickpea and desi chickpea flour are available from Canadian suppliers.
