About Kalla channa

Kalla Channa, also known as black chickpeas, is a nutrient-dense legume widely used in Indian cuisine and other South Asian dishes. Smaller in size than regular chickpeas, they have a dark brown outer coat and a robust, nutty flavor. These legumes are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making them ideal for maintaining energy levels and supporting digestive health. They are rich in essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, potassium, and B-vitamins, contributing to heart health and overall vitality. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, Kalla Channa is a smart addition to balanced diets. Traditionally prepared in curries, stir-fries, or salads, they are versatile and delicious. However, individuals with digestive sensitivities should moderate intake as their fiber content can cause bloating in some cases. When paired with rice or whole grains, Kalla Channa creates a complete protein, making it a staple in vegetarian and vegan cooking.
