📚 BackgroundHummus and falafel taste like the Middle East — but the chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) behind them grow in the cool, dry north. Montana grows the most, just ahead of Washington — the same cool, dry north where America's lentils grow.(USDA NASS Quick Stats)
Most: Montana (2,050,000 cwt (100 lb)); least shown here: North Dakota (765,000 cwt (100 lb)).
Note: measured in hundred-pound bags (cwt). Only states that publish a value are shown. Only the top states are shown here — smaller producers (and states USDA doesn't publish) aren't listed.
