White Chick Peas, known as "Kabul Chana," are a key ingredient in the famous Punjabi dish "Chhole Bhature." This versatile legume is used in both whole and flour form, offering a range of culinary possibilities. Beyond its culinary appeal, Kabul Chana is highly beneficial for a healthy lifestyle due to its rich content of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber.
In India, Chickpeas are predominantly cultivated in the state of Madhya Pradesh, where moderately heavy soils provide an ideal growing environment. The chickpea season typically commences in February. India holds a prominent position as one of the world's leading manufacturers of Chickpeas, particularly from the malwa region in Madhya Pradesh, renowned for its high production and superior quality.
Globally, India ranks among the largest producers of chickpeas, followed by Australia, Turkey, Myanmar, Mexico, and Canada. The growing export trend of Indian chickpeas is expected to surge further as the world demands the exceptional quality grown in the country.
