Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are nutrient-rich legumes originating from the Middle East and widely used in Mediterranean, Indian, and African cuisines. High in fiber, protein, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, chickpeas are a powerhouse for supporting muscle health, digestion, and energy production. They're naturally low in fat, contain complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, and are a great source of plant-based protein, making them perfect for vegetarians and vegans. Chickpeas are rich in antioxidants and may help support heart health by lowering bad cholesterol levels. They’re versatile, commonly found in dishes like hummus, falafel, curry, or salads. While they’re generally healthy, canned varieties can be high in sodium, so rinsing is advised. Consuming them in moderation is key, particularly for individuals with sensitivities or digestive issues due to their high fiber content.
