The pulses such as chickpeas or garbanzo beans, lentils and the dry peas, are progressively being documented for their major role in health promotion. Chickpea is reflected as a unique due to the presence of higher level of protein (40%) in it. The drought stress is the major cause of reduction of growth of plants by disturbing the molecular, physiological and the biochemical processes like ion uptake, respiration, signaling pathways, photosynthesis, and induction of hormones, nitrogen assimilation, carbohydrates and the amino acids metabolisms. Nonstop decrease in the productivity of chickpea is indorsed to inadequate genetic variations and the different stresses. Chickpeas comprise a soluble fiber called raffinose, a kind of oligo-saccharide which is fermented in colon through the useful bacteria called the Bifidobacterium. There are some earliest investigations which demonstrate that the individuals eating chickpeas can lesser their danger for diabetes. Chickpeas also play a vital role in the diet of those people who are effected by osteoporosis for its prevention. The protein ratio to starch can be adjusted to target definite textural characteristics of textured pea-protein to closely mimic the various products of meat such as chicken, beef and fish. . Not only do chickpeas produce a valued crop but at the same time they also are responsible for a natural organic technique of breaking disease cycle in barley and wheat crops.
