About Dry chana

Dry Chana, also known as dried chickpeas, is a versatile pulse widely used in Indian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisines. This legume is packed with essential nutrients, making it a healthy addition to various dishes. High in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, Dry Chana is excellent for supporting muscle growth, digestion, and sustained energy levels. It is also a good source of iron, magnesium, and folate, contributing to improved blood health and bone strength. One of its health benefits includes its low glycemic index, making it ideal for managing blood sugar levels. While it is naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, ensuring portion control is essential as it can be calorie-dense when consumed in large quantities. Commonly used in soups, curries, salads, or ground into flour, Dry Chana is a nutritious, hearty ingredient with roots in centuries-old culinary traditions.
