Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a versatile legume commonly found in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisines. Tinned chickpeas are pre-cooked and preserved, offering a convenient option for quick meals. They are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, making them a valuable choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. Chickpeas are naturally low in fat and can promote heart health and stable blood sugar levels. However, some tinned varieties may contain added salt or preservatives, so choosing low-sodium options or rinsing before use is recommended. Perfect for soups, salads, curries, or hummus, their creamy texture and mild flavor make them a staple ingredient worldwide.
