Chickpeas (canned drained)

Chickpeas are round, beige legumes with a firm, slightly nutty texture, widely used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and South Asian cooking. They are cooked into stews and curries, mashed into hummus, or roasted whole for a crunchy snack. Dried chickpeas require soaking and lengthy cooking, while canned chickpeas are ready to use after draining.

Once drained of its canning liquid, this ingredient weighs less per cup than it does undrained, though usually more than the dried, unsoaked form.
