Stan - apparently you are in an area that is the first to be seeing the fresh garbanzo bean...I have some recipes for chick peas/garbanzo beans, but never even heard of fresh...here is an article that talks about the new company packaging them The Bean Scene

Have you tried them yet? Sounds like they have a bit of a different flavor...

Here's a recipe for a soup if you are interested in giving it a shot (gotta love garlic!!)
GARBANZO & PASTA SOUP
3 TBL Olive Oil
8 - 10 cloves minced garlic
1 TBL Lemon Juice
2 TBL chopped fresh rosemary
1 bunch of spinach (about a lb)
2 1/2 - 3 cups chicken broth (add the last 1/2 cup if it seems necessary at the end)
1 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
1 1/2 cup cooked pasta (I usually use Orzo or Ditalini - but use any pasta you wish)
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot over medium heat, combine oil and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Stir in the rosemary and saute for 2 more minutes. Add spinach and sautee until wilted. Add the broth and chickpeas and simmer for an additional 10 - 15 minutes. Add the macaroni and allow to heat through completely, about 5 more minutes. Add Lemon Juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve w/crusty bread...

Fresh green Chichis in small pods remind of the mame (steamed fresh soybeans) served as snacks in Japanese bars and sushi restaurants. Lively green between...peas and fresh soybeans.

Cooking changes the flavor to a milder version of dried chickpeas.

Made them w pasta . Wan taste compared to dried, so I added reduced broth from dried cheetch and chicken stock. That does it.
