Brown chickpeas, also known as kala chana, are a nutrient-rich legume native to South Asia and widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. Smaller and darker than regular chickpeas, they have a robust, nutty flavor and firm texture, making them ideal for soups, salads, curries, and stews. Packed with protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, they support muscle growth, digestion, and heart health. They're also a good source of plant-based antioxidants and low in fat, making them a wholesome choice for balanced diets. While brown chickpeas are highly nutritious, consuming them in moderation is key, as their high fiber content may cause digestive discomfort if overeaten. Versatile and healthful, brown chickpeas are a flavorful addition to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meal plans.
