Health Benefits of
Chickpeas
Fiber Advantage and
Weight Loss: Like other beans, Chickpeas, are rich in
both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Soluble fiber forms a
gel-like substance in the digestive tract that snares bile (which
contains cholesterol) and ferries it out of the body. Research
studies have shown that insoluble fiber not only helps to increase
stool bulk and prevent constipation, but also helps prevent
digestive disorders.
Protein for
Vegetarians: Chickpeas are a good source of protein.
Combined with a whole grain such as whole-wheat protein, they
provide amount of protein comparable to that of meat or dairy foods
without the high calories or saturated fats.
Manganese for Energy
Production: Garbanzos are an excellent source of the
trace mineral manganese, which is an essential cofactor in a number
of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defenses.
Just one cup of garbanzo beans supplies *4.5% of the daily value
for this mineral.
Iron
Boost: Garbanzos can boost your energy because of
their high iron content. This is particularly important for
menstruating women, pregnant or lactating women and growing
children. Iron is an integral component of hemoglobin, which
transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, and is part of
key enzyme systems for energy production and
metabolism.
