Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are nutrient-rich legumes commonly used in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Boiled chickpeas are prepared by soaking dried chickpeas and cooking them until tender. They are a versatile ingredient featured in dishes like hummus, curries, and salads. Packed with protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, boiled chickpeas support digestion, promote satiety, and provide energy. They are an excellent source of plant-based iron, folate, and potassium while being naturally low in fat. Chickpeas contain no cholesterol and have a low glycemic index, making them suitable for heart health and blood sugar management. While they are highly nutritious, portion control is essential to avoid excessive calorie intake, especially when paired with rich dressings or sauces. An ideal choice for vegetarians and vegans, boiled chickpeas offer a wholesome, balanced addition to a healthy diet.
