Garbanzo Bean (Chickpea) Production in California

In California, garbanzos are grown primarily as a high-end specialty product for the canning industry. To meet this market demand, canning-quality garbanzo beans must be creamy colored, have a large, uniform seed size, and maintain firmness after canning with no seed splitting or skin peeling. There is also a market for the large seeded, dry-packaged garbanzo beans. California’s Mediterranean climate provides ideal growing conditions for this market segment.

This publication covers production from seed selection to harvesting and markets.
