About Garbanzo bean

Garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, are nutrient-packed legumes popular in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Originating from the Middle East, they are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them an excellent plant-based protein source. They contain folate, iron, phosphorus, and B vitamins, supporting overall health, including digestion and energy production. Garbanzo beans are naturally low in fat and contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Their high fiber content helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and supports gut health. While highly nutritious, canned varieties may contain added sodium, so rinsing or choosing low-sodium options is recommended. Garbanzo beans are incredibly versatile, commonly used in dishes like hummus, falafel, salads, and stews, offering both flavor and health benefits to your diet.
