CHICKPEAS

Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), also known as garbanzo beans, are a popular legume that has been cultivated for thousands of years in the Middle East, Mediterranean, and parts of Asia. These small, round, beige-colored beans are packed with nutrients, making them an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Chickpeas are rich in folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium, contributing to overall health. They are also low in fat and have a low glycemic index, which helps in regulating blood sugar levels. Chickpeas are versatile in cooking and can be used in a variety of dishes, from hummus and salads to soups, stews, and curries. They also serve as a meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan diets due to their high protein content. With their numerous health benefits and ability to complement a variety of meals, chickpeas are a nutritious and sustainable food choice.
