About Chana

Chana, also known as chickpeas or garbanzo beans, is a highly nutritious legume that originates from Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate and iron, chana is a versatile ingredient commonly used in dishes like hummus, curries, and salads. Its high fiber content supports digestive health and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, making it an excellent choice for heart health and weight management. Chana is low in fat and contains complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. While canned chickpeas are convenient, they can be high in sodium, so rinsing thoroughly or opting for dried and cooked chana is a healthier option. This plant-based protein source is ideal for vegans and vegetarians, and its adaptability makes it a staple in global cuisine.
