Chickpeas' versatility and cultural significance have made them a culinary staple in many parts of the world. Chickpeas are considered a sustainable food crop due to their ability to thrive in various conditions, reduce reliance on synthetic fertilisers, and offer numerous nutritional benefits. They are drought-resistant, nitrogen-fixing, and require less water and pesticides compared to other crops, contributing to more sustainable agriculture and food production.

This is a true ‘swapshop’ by name and by nature, where we hope to explore how chickpeas are used in different cultures through recipes and samples for eating. The end result will be a digital chickpea recipe booklet from around the world by that we can share with our UCL community.
