Alemany Farmer's Market had them today. $1 for the garbanzos on the stalks. it's a pretty healthy bunch, probably will yield ~2 cups shelled

College of San Mateo Farmers Market on Sat. had them too, had them dry roasted and coated with lime, chile and kosher salt. Amazing.

I saw someone selling bundles of them on the stalk out of a truck in Richmond. I don't remember seeing them sold like that around here before, although I had seen them in Salinas.

In the last two weeks I've seen them at Berkeley Bowl West, Monterey Market and the 4th St Whole Foods. All around $2.99/#.
Love these things.

Do you have to peel them before cooking?

[Cynsa]

-you can eat them raw; pop them from the shell into your mouth
- steam in shell, toss with lime juice and chile powder; shell and eat like edamame
- roast in skillet with small amount of oil until skin is charred; shell, toss with olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper and eat
- make humus with shelled beans
- toss shelled beans in salad with lemon juice and olive oil, feta, chopped red and green bell peppers, green onions...
