Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)

Chickpeas are highly nutritious legumes known for their versatility in various dishes, including soups, salads, curries, and stews. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients.

Important Notes:

• Allergies: While chickpeas are generally safe, some individuals may experience allergies. If you're trying them for the first time, monitor for any adverse reactions.
• Preparation: Dried chickpeas should be soaked and cooked properly to enhance digestibility and nutrient absorption. Canned chickpeas are a convenient alternative, but rinsing them can reduce sodium content.
• Storage: Store dried chickpeas in a cool, dry place, and they can last for years. Cooked chickpeas should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days.
• Variety: There are different varieties of chickpeas (e.g., Desi and Kabuli), which may vary in size, color, and flavor, but the nutritional benefits remain similar.
