About Black chickpeas
Black chickpeas, also known as kala chana, are small, dark-brown legumes originating from India and widely used in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. They have a firm texture and a nutty, earthy flavor that makes them a versatile ingredient in soups, stews, salads, and curries. Nutritionally, black chickpeas are packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and folate, supporting digestive health and energy production. Their low glycemic index makes them a suitable option for managing blood sugar levels. They are naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, making them heart-healthy. However, like most legumes, they contain anti-nutrients such as phytates, which can impact mineral absorption. Soaking or sprouting reduces these effects. Easy to prepare and nutrient-rich, black chickpeas are a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets, offering both health benefits and culinary versatility.
