About Chickpea

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are nutrient-rich legumes widely used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisines. They are an excellent source of protein, making them a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans, while also providing dietary fiber to support digestive health. Chickpeas contain essential vitamins and minerals such as folate, iron, phosphorus, and magnesium, contributing to energy production and bone health. Their high fiber and protein content can aid in managing blood sugar levels and promoting feelings of fullness, making them a great option for weight management. Low in fat and naturally gluten-free, chickpeas are versatile, often found in dishes like hummus, falafel, and curries. While generally healthy, canned varieties may contain added sodium, so rinsing thoroughly or choosing low-sodium options is recommended. Whether roasted as a snack or blended into dips, chickpeas are a nutritious staple in many global diets.
