Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are round, beige legumes commonly used in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Rich in protein and fiber, they are a staple for vegetarians and vegans looking to boost nutritional intake. Chickpeas also contain essential nutrients such as folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium, which support heart health and energy production. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, they contribute to balanced diets when paired with whole grains or vegetables. Their complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy without spiking blood sugar levels. While dried chickpeas are nutritious, canned varieties may contain added sodium, so opt for low-sodium options or rinse them before use. Versatile and filling, chickpeas can be enjoyed in dishes like hummus, curries, or roasted for snacks, making them a wholesome addition to daily meals.
