About Chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram), mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt

Chickpeas — also called garbanzo beans — are the firm, nutty legume behind hummus, falafel and countless curries and stews. Cooked until tender, they hold their shape well, which makes them as good tossed whole into a salad as blended into a dip.

They're a plant-based powerhouse: rich in protein and fiber, low in fat, and a solid source of folate, iron, magnesium and manganese. The combination keeps you full and steadies blood sugar, a big part of why chickpeas are a staple of vegetarian and Mediterranean eating alike.

Versatile and filling, they're one of the easiest ways to make a meatless meal satisfying — roasted into a crunchy snack, simmered into a stew, or mashed into a spread.
