TOP 5 REASONS YOU MIGHT HAVE LEFTOVER CHICKPEAS ON HAND

1. You’re a thorough shopper and conducted your own chickpeas taste test. (Note: You don’t have to! We’ve already done the work for you.)
2. Leftover garnishes from your hummus party!
3. Your local Middle Eastern grocery store was having a massive sale.
4. Two words: homemade falafel.
5. You just realized that garbanzo beans and chickpeas are one in the same. So now you’ve got twice as many as you thought you did.

Don’t let it go to waste. Use it up!
