About Canned chickpeas

Canned chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a nutrient-packed legume commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines. Containing protein, fiber, iron, and folate, they are a plant-based powerhouse, making them an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. They are precooked, making them a convenient ingredient for salads, soups, stews, and dips like hummus. While low in fat and cholesterol-free, their healthfulness can be affected by added salt; many canned varieties are high in sodium, so rinsing them before use or selecting low-sodium options is recommended. Versatile and budget-friendly, canned chickpeas are an accessible, shelf-stable source of nutrition that supports heart health, aids digestion, and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
