About Garbanzo

Garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, are nutrient-rich legumes originating from the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. Popular in cuisines such as Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean, they are celebrated for their versatility, appearing in dishes like hummus, falafel, and stews. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like folate, iron, and magnesium, garbanzo beans support digestion, heart health, and sustained energy levels. They are low in saturated fat and contain beneficial antioxidants, making them a fantastic choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. While naturally healthy, preparation methods can alter their nutritional profile—frying or adding excess oil or salt, for instance, increases calorie and sodium content. Enjoy them roasted, boiled, or blended for a flavorful and nutritious addition to meals.
