Chana beans, commonly known as chickpeas or garbanzo beans, are nutrient-rich legumes originating from the Middle East and widely used in Indian, Mediterranean, and African cuisines. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, folate, magnesium, and B vitamins. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, chana beans support heart health, aid digestion, and help manage blood sugar levels due to their low glycemic index. Their mild, nutty flavor makes them a versatile ingredient, perfect for dishes like hummus, curries, salads, and soups. While naturally healthy, preparation methods like frying or using heavy sauces can increase calorie and fat content, so moderation is key. Whether used whole, roasted, or ground into flour, chana beans are a staple for nutritious, satisfying meals that fit a variety of dietary needs.
