I've eaten chick peas all my life, and this is the first time I've seen them harvested, considering how much I've consumed in my life (and wasted! as a kid) imagining all the resources required to grow me (a person) is mad. It really helps to associate what you eat to where it comes from to make you appreciate it more.

Stir fry of tender chickpea leaves also tastes heavenly...we harvest them when they start flowering...it helps in max production also gives us yummy sabzi..i am from Maharashtra(India). 🤗

Please tell Ethan thank you for sharing his music with us :) I already love your videos but the music really does make something already special into something even more special.

Involving multiple generations in the harvest and production of food straight from the earth...it feels so connected to our humanity and our ancestors. The beauty of it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing.

Hi I'm from southern India.. love ur videos on sustainable living.. chickpeas are a staple in our diet.. we roast the fresh green ones with some salt, we use the tender chickpeas leaves with eggplant tomato curry, we can freeze the blanched green chickpeas and use them like frozen peas ...

Now that was a sight seeing everyone join in. Good harvesting by all. .Lovely to see the children having fun with it. Granny always put beans in flour sacks and laid them flat over the sunny rock garden to dry. All us kids took turns smacking the sacks with a broomstick. Technique was second to the fun we had. Looks like you had fun, too. Thank you much for keeping us up to date with how your garden is doing. Sending sunshine your way.

Because of the fun shorts videos about the chickpeas I have been keeping an eye out for this long form video. And it did NOT disappoint! Super interesting and informative, loved it 😁

This is delightfully wholesome. Nice to know I can use the worst soil in my garden for this crop.

It's so interesting. It looks like a very labor-intensive crop after harvesting. I now have a great appreciation for the process and the final product we bring home. Thanks for the knowledge you share.

Another lovely video from you guys!! I’m super glad your channel is growing even bigger. So even more people can learn and enjoy the great videos you dedicate time and love too❤ thank you!!

I just love this channel. I was hoping to make this my first year growing chickpeas. I planted 16 seeds, 9 germinated and were doing really well. But the bunnies ate all of them. 😒 But not giving up, I can’t wait to plant them next spring. I saw another Ytuber that was eating fresh, green off the plant. The way she described the flavor, I can’t stop thinking about it.

Where I’m from we call red root amaranth, Aupa and it’s a staple in most households. The best way I like to have it is steamed with lots of garlic, mixed veggies, a drizzle of olive oil and some chicken bouillon to taste 😄

Definitely inspired to grow chickpeas! So cool to be able to grow a crop that gives back to the soil and produces such a reliable food while also being able to grow in soil that other crops wouldn't tolerate!!
