Chickpeas, also known as pois chiches or garbanzo beans, are nutrient-dense legumes widely used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines. With their nutty flavor and creamy texture, they are a versatile ingredient in dishes like hummus, falafel, and stews. Chickpeas are rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, vitamins B6 and C, folate, and key minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. They support digestive health, promote heart health, and help manage blood sugar due to their low glycemic index. Chickpeas are also naturally gluten-free and low in saturated fat, making them a healthy option for various diets. However, canned chickpeas may contain added sodium, so rinsing or choosing low-sodium options is recommended. Whether enjoyed roasted as a snack or blended into spreads, pois chiches offer a nutritious boost to meals while supporting overall health.
