Chickpeas Medium Greek Organic 500gr

Chickpeas can readily replace meat in our diet. Chickpeas stand out from other legumes for the quality of their protein, ranging from 20% to 30%, and containing all the essential amino acids needed by the human body, especially the amino acid methionine. They are also a good source of carbohydrates, ranging from 53% to 70%, and are rich in starch. A special characteristic is their high fiber content, from 7.5% to 14%, mainly found in their skin. Folic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, and a variety of vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B6, B12, and C make them a complete food, ideal for preventing arteriosclerosis and reducing blood pressure.
