About Black channa

Black Channa, also known as black chickpeas or kala channa, is a nutritious legume widely used in Indian cuisine. Packed with protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium, it serves as a powerhouse of energy and sustenance. Its high fiber content supports digestive health, helps manage cholesterol levels, and promotes satiety, making it ideal for weight management. Rich in antioxidants, Black Channa aids in combating free radicals, contributing to overall cellular health. While naturally low in fat, its carbohydrate content provides steady energy, making it suitable for active lifestyles. Traditionally soaked and cooked in curries, salads, or stir-fries, it complements vegetarian and vegan diets beautifully. Originating from South Asian agricultural roots, it’s considered a staple in plant-based nutrition. While highly beneficial, moderation is advised for individuals on specific diets, such as low-carb, due to its starch content.
