Rice and chickpeas is a simple yet nutritious dish common in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines. This combination pairs fluffy rice with protein-rich chickpeas, creating a balanced and filling meal. Chickpeas are high in fiber, plant-based protein, iron, and folate, while rice provides energy-boosting carbohydrates and essential nutrients like manganese. Brown rice enhances the health benefits by adding more fiber and vitamins. The dish is often seasoned with spices such as cumin, turmeric, or paprika, which contribute antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, Rice and Chickpeas is a heart-healthy option when prepared with minimal oil and salt. It can serve as a vegetarian or vegan main course or complement other dishes. However, those watching their carbohydrate intake should be mindful of portion sizes, as rice can be calorie-dense.
