About Black chick peas
Black chickpeas, also known as kala chana, are small, dark legumes native to India and widely used in South Asian cuisine. Packed with nutrients, they are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, making them a staple for vegetarian and vegan diets. Black chickpeas are lower in fat than many other protein options, while their high fiber content supports digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Rich in antioxidants, they contribute to overall heart health and may reduce inflammation. They are versatile and can be used in salads, curries, soups, or roasted as a snack. While their nutritional profile is impressive, preparation methods such as frying or pairing with creamy sauces can add extra calories or saturated fats. Simple boiling or pressure cooking is the healthiest way to enjoy these nutrient-dense legumes.
