About Boiled black chana

Boiled Black Chana, also known as Kala Chana or black chickpeas, is a staple ingredient in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. These small, dark legumes are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as B6 and folate, as well as minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, making them a nutrient-dense food that supports digestion, energy production, and heart health. Low in fat and free of cholesterol, boiled black chana is a healthy choice for weight management and maintaining stable blood sugar levels, thanks to its low glycemic index. Its naturally earthy flavor and firm texture make it versatile for salads, soups, or side dishes. While generally wholesome, portion control is key as overconsumption may contribute to mild digestive discomfort due to its high fiber content. Enjoy boiled black chana as part of a balanced diet for optimal health benefits.
