Black chickpeas, also known as "Kala Chana," are a nutrient-dense legume native to India and widely used in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. Smaller and darker than regular chickpeas, they boast a nutty flavor and firm texture, making them ideal for curries, salads, and stews. Rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, black chickpeas are a powerhouse for sustained energy and digestive health. They are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins, which support immune function and overall well-being. Low in fat and naturally gluten-free, they are an excellent choice for heart health and weight management. However, their high fiber content may cause bloating in sensitive individuals if consumed in excess. Whether soaked, sprouted, or ground into flour, black chickpeas are a versatile and wholesome addition to any diet.
