IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The global demand for legumes is skyrocketing. The desire for healthier food options low in sodium and cholesterol, and high in protein and good fats, is steadily on the rise. For this reason, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines are gaining popularity throughout the world. The legume riding high on this food trend is the chick pea, or garbanzo, well known for the creamy, richness it adds to hummus.
