We Had No Idea the Chickpea Was So Endangered — It May Be Time To Change Our Eating Habits!
The chickpea flew under the radar for several years, but recently it's got a lot of attention, primarily as the main ingredient in hummus.

That's Right… Chickpeas Are Over Used & We Don't Have The Soil Or Type Of Environment That They Thrive On!
While the chickpea has long been a relatively plentiful crop, there are certain aspects of its production that make it prone to extinction.
The problem lies mainly in changing environmental conditions and how they affect the growing conditions for this little but delicious legume. In fact, the region that has traditionally been one of its main producers is actually experiencing one of the worst droughts, making it difficult to grow anything!
