People in China also eat chickpeas, and few people outside Xinjiang eat chickpeas. This is because chickpeas are not widely planted in China, mainly in Xinjiang, and their popularity is low, so many people have never eaten them before. Besides, there is hardly anything delicious made of chickpeas in the menu.

For Uighurs, eating chickpeas every day has become an indispensable part of daily life, and chickpeas are also the most important force in their healthy food. Fitness lovers also like chickpeas because they can replace protein.

Cultivation and Development of Chickpea in China

In the world, the planting area of chickpea can rank in the top three of bean crops, with a long history of planting. Foreigners are more familiar with chickpeas than domestic crops, just as we are familiar with soybeans and peanuts.

Because of the small planting area and slow development in China, chickpea is still a new crop in China, which has room for development, but it takes a long time to develop.
