jlafler just saw fresh chickpeas for sale at the Milk Pail Market in Mountain View for $2.49 a pound. sosdiaz says they are also available at Mi Pueblo markets, and need a quick soak in salt water before cooking. Ruth Lafler has spotted them at Berkeley Bowl, and rworange reminds us of the garbanzo bean truck that shows up on 23rd street in the Richmond when the beans are in season.
