Chickpeas are a good source of insoluble and soluble fiber. With 12.5g of fiber per cup, you are getting a whopping 50% of your daily recommended value. In addition; they pack 14.5g of protien per cup. Being high and fiber and protien means consuming them can make you feel fuller longer helping you to eat less and lose weight. Chickpeas also promote cardiovascular health, control blood sugar, aid in digestion, and are a rich source of vitamins and minerals beneficial to the brain.
If you are looking to add more chickpeas into your diet, but don’t know where to start; roasting them and adding them into wraps, and salads is a good start. They are also great added into soups, stews, and chili.
