The chickpea (*chana*) is one of the oldest and most widely used grains in the Middle and Far East. In the immediate vicinity of cultivated chickpea, especially in Turkey and Syria, wild relatives occur, although not in abundance. In Iran and Afghanistan, the wild relatives are distinguished from the cultivated species by differences in morphological characteristics and the altitude at which they grow.
