About Chickpeas in syrup

Chickpeas in syrup is a sweet and hearty dessert originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. This treat combines boiled or steamed chickpeas with a thick, sugary syrup made from ingredients like sugar, water, and sometimes honey or aromatic spices such as cinnamon or cardamom. Chickpeas themselves are rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, making them a nutritious foundation. However, the addition of syrup significantly increases the sugar content, which can contribute to higher calories and diminish its health benefits if consumed in excess. Chickpeas in syrup is often enjoyed as an indulgent snack or dessert and is sometimes paired with nuts for added texture and flavor. While it retains the plant-based wholesomeness of chickpeas, its sugary preparation means moderation is key when incorporating this dish into a balanced diet.
