Cicer arietinum. Bush bean. 100 days to maturity. Open-pollinated.
 
Black chickpea is an heirloom variety that originated from Kabul, Afghanistan. It is a new favourite to grow here at Hemphill Seeds. The 2' high plants produce black beans that sprout in cool soil, which has been perfect for our shorter seasons. The beans can be picked while pods are still green for fresh eating or left on the plant until everything has browned and dried for dry chickpeas. 25+ seeds per pack.
