Compact, bushy plants produce delicate flowers followed by small pods, typically containing one or two chickpeas each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell suited to temperate growing conditions, chickpeas prefer a relatively dry growing season and a drier finish as the pods mature. As a legume, they form a symbiotic relationship with beneficial soil bacteria, fixing atmospheric nitrogen through root nodules and making them a valuable addition to crop rotations and soil-building systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChickpeas can be harvested young and green for fresh eating or left on the plant until the pods and seeds have fully matured and dried for storage. A staple ingredient across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines, dried chickpeas are excellent for hummus, curries, soups, salads, stews and roasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 3 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 60 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Late winter to early spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly approximately 3–5 cm deep into well-drained soil in a sunny position.
