The L’<i>Abeurador</i> cave in Southern France suggests that chickpeas have been cooked since the Mesolithic era (6800 BC). As archeobotanists suggested in the 1980’s, the cave could be a testimony of the way hunter-gatherers would have been gradually switching from foraging to a “soft agriculture” by sowing seeds around the cave. Stocks of dried peas, lentils, red peas and vetches were also found in the cave.
