About Raw black chana

Raw Black Chana, also known as black chickpeas, is a nutrient-dense legume widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. Known for its earthy flavor and firm texture, this variety of chickpea originates in South Asia and has been a staple in vegetarian dishes for centuries. Black Chana is a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins like B6 and folate. It also contains key minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium, which support energy production and muscle health. Its fiber content aids digestion and promotes satiety, making it ideal for weight management. Additionally, Black Chana is low in fat and has a low glycemic index, making it a heart-healthy choice for maintaining blood sugar levels. While incredibly nutritious, moderation is key as excessive consumption may cause bloating due to its high fiber content.
