Ethiopia chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is part of a leguminous family of crops that are rich in protein and pulse content. The popular name for the legume ranges from ceci bean to chana to Bengal gram.

It features brown, yellow or greenish black colors, all having hard coats. The Kabuli variety comes in a beige color and can be pea-shaped or round. Its coat is normally light and soft to the touch.
