B tier
Dollar chickpeas are large kabuli seeds graded by size—named for coin-like scale in some trade slang—used where impressive whole chickpeas matter in salads and displays. Culinary behaviour matches large kabuli: long cook, creamy centres. Showcase whole in composed salads and braises. Size grade, not a flavour species. Prefer recent harvest to avoid bullet-hard seeds.
