Where can one buy garbanzo beans?

Answer 1

You don't mention your country so this answer may not address your needs. However, chickpeas are actually garbanzo beans. To buy them fresh, you should telephone your local produce manager (if you have access to large grocery stores) and ask if the store carries them. If you cannot find a chain, try an ethnic grocery store (Indian, Mexican, Greek) and see if they carry them. They're available throughout the United States at various large chain grocery stores but only during a limited time. Otherwise, the only remaining suggestion is to locate a specialty grocery supplier on line and see if you can have them shipped fresh to you.

Answer 2

Garbanzo beans can be purchased at any grocery store, including Ralph's and Vons. They may also be found online at stores such as WEBstaurant and iHerb.
