About Pois chiches

Pois chiches, commonly known as chickpeas or garbanzo beans, are nutrient-packed legumes originating from the Middle East, though they're now central to many global cuisines like Mediterranean, Indian, and North African. They are a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. Chickpeas are also known for their low glycemic index, promoting steady blood sugar levels, and their high fiber content supports digestive health. Versatile and hearty, they can be used in soups, salads, curries, and blended into hummus. Although they are healthy overall, individuals watching sodium intake should be mindful when consuming canned versions or pre-seasoned dishes. Additionally, their caloric density may require portion control for those monitoring calorie consumption. With their rich flavor and impressive nutritional profile, pois chiches are a delicious and indispensable staple in a balanced diet.
