“They are much drier then beans”

So chickpeas aren’t a bean?

I cook them a lot for hummus, and you are right, they are very dry tasting on their own. I guess that’s why they work well in patties? I’ll have to try that

They are legumes but a different genus I think?

Their dryness makes them great for turning into a flour or paste or for frying or baking for snacks.
