Yes chickpeas are a very awesome and diverse food. Beets on the other hand...sorry but my mother ruined them for me with the pickled variety. I get an almost instant gag reflex when I even smell them now. I went on one of those juice cleanse diets and one of the juices I had to drink was mostly beet. I got both the red and the gold color thinking maybe some variety would help. It did not. Also the beet juice dyed my #1's and #2's red. Well my urine was more orange but like a burnt orange.
