Why are chickpeas so healthy?

Chickpeas are a great versatile legume to utilize in so many recipes. You can use them in stews, soups, salads, on their own, and even in baking. What’s so great about chickpeas is that they are filling, and also loaded with health benefits. They have a variety of vitamins and minerals, the protein and fiber helps keep you full (a 1oz serving contains 3 grams of protein), and that’s not all. Chickpeas also:

Support blood sugar control Help benefit digestion Can protect you against certain chronic diseases

BONUS! They are inexpensive, and like I said, so easy to add to your diet.
