About Boiled black chickpeas

Boiled black chickpeas, also known as Kala Chana, are a nutrient-dense legume commonly featured in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. These small, dark-brown chickpeas are rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and folate. Their earthy, nutty flavor makes them a versatile ingredient in salads, soups, curries, or as a standalone snack. Low in fat and free from cholesterol, they can support heart health, improve digestion, and help regulate blood sugar levels due to their low glycemic index. However, black chickpeas contain phytic acid, which may reduce the absorption of certain minerals unless properly soaked or cooked. Though generally considered very healthy, portion control is advised as overconsumption could lead to bloating or discomfort for those sensitive to legumes. Whether included in traditional dishes or modern recipes, boiled black chickpeas are a wholesome choice for balanced eating.
