Black Chana, or black chickpeas, are a nutrient-rich legume popular in South Asian cuisine. Typically cooked through boiling or pressure cooking, they are prepared plain or with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, making them a versatile dish eaten as a curry, salad, or stir-fry. Native to India, Black Chana is celebrated for its high protein content, robust fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and folate. It’s naturally low in fat and contains complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. Rich in antioxidants, it supports heart health and aids digestion. However, its dense fiber and starch content can be harder to digest for some individuals. Often paired with rice, roti, or fresh vegetables, Black Chana is cherished for blending wholesome nutrition with satisfying flavor. It's a staple among plant-based and vegetarian diets, promoting balanced eating while spotlighting traditional Indian cooking methods.
