Chickpea Harvest with George the Farmer

Join George the Farmer and his mates Simone and Ben as they investigate chickpeas at harvest time. Did you know that chickpeas have superpowers? The delicious and versatile grain gathers nitrogen from the air through the plant and releases it into the soil making it healthier for future crops to be grown! Learn all about this amazing crop and the big machines that are used at harvest time including tractors, trucks and harvesters - and then get into the kitchen to cook up some delicious felafel! Yum!
