I want to know whether garbanzo beans grow above the ground or are like peanuts and grow under the ground.
The garbanzo bean, also know as the chickpea or Egyptian pea, is a member of the legume family and is related to beans and other peas. Like them, it grows above ground. The pods are about one inch long and contain one or two light-colored seeds.
