In the time that I’ve been on a vegan diet, I’ve learned a lot of things. One lesson in particular will stay with me for quite some time – learn to love thy chickpeas.
Beans are pretty crucial when you aren’t eating meat, dairy, or eggs, so learning to use different kinds of beans is a pretty big deal if you want to be successful as a vegan. And chickpeas are a very special kind of bean because they somehow manage to be a wonderful substitute for both chicken and tuna (it sounds crazy, but I’m telling you, it’s true).
