What is your new favorite (and possibly healthy) snack?

What is the difference in chickpeas and garbanzo? I love the chickpeas you get in Indian food. Yummy, I have been craving indian like something fierce.

I thought they were two names for the same thing...

Yellow Indian channa tend to be a little smaller than European ceci/garbanzos, but I don't notice a difference in flavor. I don't know whether they're actually the same variety or not. Kala channa (black chickpeas) are a little nuttier and have thicker skins than the yellow ones.

You learn something new everyday. I had no idea that there were different types of chickpeas! Makes sense as there are different varieties of almost every type of bean/legume. I'm a vegetarian, a great cook, love Mediterranean, Indian, North African cuisine, etc and have great access to all kinds of foods. I'll have to look harder in the local markets.

Reddi Whip, out of the can!

Actually, either yogurt or a Luna bar qualifies as a "healthy snack" for me.
