Chickpea, known under the name of "peas of rams", is an annual leguminous plant, originating from Asia Minor. Chickpea seeds have a great nutritional value, are used in human consumption as boiled, roasted or cofee surrogate, being rich in proteins, mineral salts (phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron) and vitamin B complex. Having an increased protein concentration (24%), plus a substantial percentage of carbohydrates and lipids, chickpea has a remarkable food value, largely replacing the meat protein. Chickpea is a characteristic ingredient in Middle East kitchen, Africa and India, known under the name of "desi" and "kabuli". In Romania, there are cultivated local populations of chickpea: Galben de Moldova (Moldova Yellow), Naut galben de Lovrin (Lovrin Yellow chickpea). Chickpeas have quite high requirements to the temperature, the amount being of 2,000ºC and tolerate the easiest, among of all leguminous bean plants, the drought conditions, therefore it can be cultivated in Dobrogea, provided the early spring seeding.
