Chickpeas – healthy, strong and just fantastic

Chickpeas are secret all-rounders that are not only super tasty, but also have a lot to offer! The light legumes impress with plenty of benefits and thus gain entry into our healthy kitchen. Let’s start with the most special feature: low in calories and fat, but packed with high-quality proteins and fiber. This makes the chickpea a popular weight loss aid, because we can eat a lot of it and stay full for a long time. Then there are our friends lysine and threonine, which help muscles grow. Not to forget the saponins it contains, which regulate blood sugar levels. And that’s not even all! With a quantity of 150g cooked chickpeas, we cover 50% of the daily requirement of folic acid, which is involved in many important metabolic processes in the body and is known as a vital vitamin. In addition, chickpeas have proven to be an excellent source of iron and calcium. What should we say – we are completely convinced and want to be chee(ie)ky!
