They're delicious, I wish I could grow chickpeas.
They are widely grown in tropical countries. Plants only succeed outdoors in Britain in hot summers; they often fail in mild moist maritime climates (like the UK) because the seedpods are hairy and this holds moisture. The moisture then encourages fungal growth and the seed usually rots before it is fully mature
