Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are part of the legume family. While they have become more popular recently, chickpeas have been grown in Middle Eastern countries for thousands of years.
Their nutty taste and grainy texture pair well with several other foods and ingredients; as a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, chickpeas may offer various health benefits, such as improving digestion, aiding weight management, and reducing weight the risk of several diseases.
Additionally, chickpeas are high in protein and make an excellent replacement for meat in vegetarian and vegan diets.
