   • 2012 November 22, Orit Ofir (אורית אופיר),‎ “מרזה ומלא סידן: למה החומוס בריא לכם‎” (m'razé umalé sidán: láma hakhúmus barí lakhém, “Slimming and full of calcium: why the chickpea is good for you”), in Ynet:

     חומוס הוא אחת הקטניות הראשונות ששימשו למאכל אדם, […]

     khúmus hú akhát hakitniyót harishonót sheshim'shú l'ma'akhál-adám, […]

     The chickpea was one of the first legumes to be used as human food, […]

• Arguably, chickpeas are more properly referred to as גַּרְגְּרֵי חִמְצָה‎ (garg'réi khimtsá); however, חומוס is the common and widely-understood term for them.

• (chickpea): חימצה \ חִמְצָה‎ (khimtsá)
