About Channas

Channas, commonly known as chickpeas, are nutrient-dense legumes originating in Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisine. These versatile little pulses are packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron. Rich in folate and other B vitamins, they support energy production and cell health. Channas have a low glycemic index, making them an excellent choice for blood sugar management and heart health. Whether blended into hummus, added to curries, or roasted for a snack, they are a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets due to their ability to replace meat in meals. While naturally low in fat, some dishes incorporating channas may contain added oils or heavy seasonings, which can increase calorie content. Overall, chickpeas are a wholesome ingredient that promotes digestive health, improves satiety, and provides sustained energy to fuel your day.
